  • Title: Monthly screening in the first six months of life for congenital hip dislocation.
    Author: Monk CJ, Dowd GS.
    Journal: Isr J Med Sci; 1980 Apr; 16(4):253-6. PubMed ID: 7390770.
    Abstract:
    The experience is reported of a five-year study of monthly assessment for congenital dislocation of the hip in suspected cases. The importance of persisting instability and of the "tightening adductor phenomenon" is stressed. The results indicate that monthly follow-up for six months greatly diminishes the incidence of late-diagnosed CDH.
