Abstract

Fifty infants undergoing treatment in the Pavlik harness for congenital hip dysplasia (CDH) were serially evaluated with ultrasound. Comparison with clinical and radiographic examinations showed sonography to be 100% sensitive and highly specific. Discrepancies between the studies are attributed to the greater sensitivity of the technique compared with the physical examination and/or radiographs. Using this method, it is possible to significantly reduce radiation exposure to the infant being treated for CDH.
