  • Title: Congenital dislocation of the hip. A protocol for early diagnosis.
    Author: Traina GC.
    Journal: Ital J Orthop Traumatol; 1989 Sep; 15(3):393-9. PubMed ID: 2599860.
    Abstract:
    On March 13, 1987 the Academy of Sciences and the Medico-Surgical Association of Ferrara organised a Meeting in Ferrara to commemorate Professor Marino Ortolani on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of his publication of the click sign which he proposed as an early means of diagnosis in congenital dislocation of the hip. It was thought that the 50th anniversary of the description of this sign would be a fitting occasion on which to compile a joint orthopaedic, radiological and paediatric document in which current views on the early diagnosis of congenital dislocation of the hip could be reported. The proposal was taken up and sponsored by the following Italian Associations: Orthopaedic Surgery, Paediatric Orthopaedics, Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, Paediatrics, Preventive and Social Paediatrics. A committee was formed representing the various Associations, to which was entrusted the task of compiling the proposed document.
