  • Title: Role of ultrasound in the diagnosis and management of developmental dysplasia of the hip: an international perspective.
    Author: Synder M, Harcke HT, Domzalski M.
    Journal: Orthop Clin North Am; 2006 Apr; 37(2):141-7, v. PubMed ID: 16638445.
    Abstract:
    Early diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip is very important for proper treatment. Different ultrasound techniques have been used for early diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip, but two of them are widely used in orthopedic practice: Graf's technique in Europe and Harcke's method in the United States. Our experience has led us to use an ultrasound technique that combines the two methods. Use of ultrasound has reduced the number of late-presenting cases, shortened treatment time, and decreased the number of surgical procedures of the hip joint in Poland.
