Abstract
Ultrasound is today the method of choiced for early detection of dysplasia and dislocation of the neonatal and infant hip, and also for definition of the severity of disease, as well as for monitoring the progress of healing. The examination may be performed as a dynamic study during provocation manoeuvres, or as a more static morphological examination, based on evaluation of the anatomy of the hip joint. For such evaluation, the present angles are used.
