  • Title: Hip dysplasia in infancy. Diagnosis and treatment.
    Author: Hirsch PJ, Hirsch SA, Reedman L.
    Journal: Prim Care; 1980 Jun; 7(2):297-310. PubMed ID: 6902957.
    Abstract:
    Diagnosis of hip dysplasia in the newborn is entirely by physical examination. In older infants, however, x-ray examination is valuable in confirming the diagnosis. The Pavlik harness is recommended as a safe, simple, and effective method of treatment; but no matter which device is preferred, once hip dysplasia is suspected, treatment should begin immediately.
