"ICODE Hip US Calculator": a mobile phone aid for screening with Graf's sonographic technique.

Aim: Aiming to offer a diagnostic tool to aid examiners with correct hip typing and decision-making about patient management, members of the Board of the International Interdisciplinary Consensus Committee on DDH Evaluation (ICODE - https://www.icode.expert), introduced the cross-platform mobile application (Android and iOS) called "ICODE Hip US Calculator".

Hip sonography according to Graf: practical notes for the student, the examiner and the reviewer.

Since the publication of Professor Reinhard Graf's work in 1980, Graf's technique has become the gold standard for screening Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) in many European and non-European countries. Despite the fact that it is supported by robust literature evidence, there is criticism about its reliability and reproducibility, questioning severalaspects of the diagnostic procedure. There is, however, concern, based on recent literature, about the quality and reliability of the published data, which may, in many cases, be based on inadequate scans, and therefore any conclusions drawn have to be questioned.

Early detection of developmental dysplasia of hip by ultrasound.

Objective: To assess the effectiveness of early universal ultrasound (US) screening of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH).

Study Design: A prospective study of universal hip screening of all mature neonates was conducted from 2012 to 2013, at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University of Szeged; 1636 newborns (3272 hips) had clinical examinations and hip ultrasound by the Graf method within the1st 3 days of life. Prevalence of DDH, risk factors, sensitivity and specificity of clinical examinations were evaluated.

International Interdisciplinary Consensus Meeting on the Evaluation of Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip.

In September 2018, an international meeting of doctors of various disciplines, with expertise in the detection and treatment of DDH, was held in Csolyospalos, Hungary. The aim was to achieve consensus on the detection and early treatment of the condition and to develop a standardized system of teaching and training for hip ultrasound. There was strong agreement that US screening is essential.

Correlation of findings in clinical and high resolution ultrasonography examinations of the painful shoulder.

Objective: High resolution ultrasonography is a non-painful and non-invasive imaging technique which is useful for the assessment of shoulder pain causes, as clinical examination often does not allow an exact diagnosis. The aim of this study was to compare the findings of clinical examination and high resolution ultrasonography in patients presenting with painful shoulder.

Methods: Non-interventional observational study of 100 adult patients suffering from unilateral shoulder pain.

Sonographic prevalence of groin hernias and adductor tendinopathy in patients with femoroacetabular impingement.

Background: Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a common debilitating condition that is associated with groin pain and limitation in young and active patients. Besides FAI, various disorders such as hernias, adductor tendinopathy, athletic pubalgia, lumbar spine affections, and others can cause similar symptoms.

Purpose: To determine the prevalence of inguinal and/or femoral herniation and adductor insertion tendinopathy using dynamic ultrasound in a cohort of patients with radiographic evidence of FAI.
