Abstract:Background and purpose: We aimed to establish the incidence of late-detected developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) with a selective ultrasound (US) examination over 17 years using the femoral head coverage (FHC) as a US measurement.

Patients diagnosed for the first time after 3 months and before the age of 8 years were… Show more
