Utility of Clinical and Ultrasonographic Hip Screening in Neonates for Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip.

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a musculoskeletal condition occupying any point along a spectrum of anatomical abnormalities that alter the stability of the newborn hip. Presentation varies throughout infancy and the majority of cases, especially those that are mild in nature, tend to resolve without intervention. An analysis of outcomes was conducted on infants born over a two-year period at a single-center, community hospital in East Toronto.
