Using ultrasound in evaluation of infant's hip development can reduce surgical procedures, hospitalization and late presentation of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). The increasing incidence of DDH after ultrasound examination is observed and published by many authors. In a prospective study, radiograph of every single ultrasonographic positive hip in infants older than three months, was taken and analyzed in order to see whether it affects infants splintage rate in treating DDH. In a period of 30 months, clinical and simple static ultrasonographic examinations according to Graf were performed on 1430 consecutive infant hips in patients aged between 4 and 6 months. Sonographic positive hips were radiographed and acetabular index (AI) values on simple AP radiographs were analyzed. The sonographic DDH incidence was 51.75 per 1000 hips (51.75 per thousand). After X-ray examination of all 74 ultrasonographic positive hips, only 44 remained abnormal and required treatment indicating a true DDH incidence of 30.77 per 1000 hips (30.77 per thousand). The difference in incidence per ultrasonographic and X-ray positive hips is statistically significant p < 0.01 (t = 5,536). The rational approach in detection of DDH in a child more than 3 months old is to do radiographic assessment of every sonographic positive hip.
