Abstract
This review of neonatal hip dysplasia examines the clinical and ultrasonographic literature that has guided current practice and discusses the controversies involved in detection and treatment of the condition. We present a view that combines clinical and ultrasonographic criteria in a simple and effective treatment decision pathway. Enthusiasm, specialization, and expertise in clinical and ultrasonographic aspects, with clear communication and cooperation between these two disciplines, are necessary to achieve an effective screening program.
