“…Some experts have suggested using risk stratification to guide the selective use of ultrasound in diagnosing DDH. It has been observed that females in breech positioning during delivery have the highest rate of clinical hip instability [1,2]. However, the effectiveness of ultrasound as a diagnostic tool for those with risk factors becomes less certain.…”

“…DDH encompasses numerous persisting alterations of the hip joint, ranging from dysplasia to real dislocation of the hip. The manifestations of DDH are variable; the femoral head can be within the acetabulum (enlocated), partially displaced (subluxated), or fully displaced from the acetabulum (dislocated) [1].…”

“…These lines have to be noted down in order to determine the bony roof angle (known as the α angle) and the cartilage roof angle (known as the β angle). In a centered hip, an angle is normally more than 60 • , and the beta angle less than 55 • [1]. In The Netherlands, screening with ultrasound is recommended for infants at the age of three months when risk factors have been reported, or earlier if clinical instability of the hips is ascertained during physical examination, which is performed at one week, one month, and three months of age.…”

Developmental hip dysplasia or developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) includes a wide range of deformities of the hip, such as congenital dysplasia, subluxation, and dislocation. It is usually identified through neonatal screening during the first 6–8 weeks of life. The incidence of DDH ranges from 1–7% in neonates among some populations, but this may vary among different ethnicities and countries. A consensus about the ideal age for screening has not been reached to date. The aim of this study is to summarize the existing data regarding the incidence of congenital hip dysplasia and screening tests among European countries. The authors conducted a systematic search in PubMed/Medline and Scopus and collected original studies published in English, French or German. The incidence of DDH presents fluctuations, not only among European countries, but also within the same country. There is no unanimity regarding the screening methods of DDH; in some countries, universal ultrasound is proposed as the basic screening method for neonates for DDH; in other countries screening is performed only in high-risk cases. More robust data are needed to conclude which screening approach is associated with improved long-term outcomes.
