The objective of this study was to delineate a model for management of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) treatment that incorporates hip ultrasound with objective/predicative parameters at key decision-making times. Hip sonograms of 74 infants (59 females, 15 males; 141 hips) with DDH were retrospectively reviewed.
