  • Title: [Advances in the early diagnosis of congenital hip dysplasia by real-time sonography].
    Author: Brockmann WP, von Wilmsdorf H, Weh L, Korn U.
    Journal: Rofo; 1984 May; 140(5):555-60. PubMed ID: 6429760.
    Abstract:
    Twenty-four infants and children aged five days to three years had their hips examined by ultrasound, and in 17 the findings were compared with the radiographic appearances. Real-time sonography, because of its flexibility, is a suitable screening method for the early diagnosis of hip dysplasia. It has the typical characteristics of a screening method: so far there have been no false negative findings. False positive results are rare, but cannot be completely excluded. The patients examined so far were mostly abnormal, and a final assessment of false positive findings will have to await larger clinical material, including normals.
