Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a term that incorporates a spectrum of disorders of the hip, ranging from mild dysplasia to complete irreducible hip dislocation. 1 In Denmark, a combination of universal clinical screening and selective ultrasound screening for DDH is implemented. Official national guidelines recommend a clinical hip examination by a midwife after birth which is repeated at a 5-week follow up by a general practitioner. 2 In supplement to the nationally recommended clinical examinations, screening for recognised risk factors for DDH has been implemented regionally.
