Abstract Aim Early detection of developmental dysplasia the hip (DDH) is associated with improved outcomes conservative treatment. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate use a ‘clicky’ as an indication for secondary assessment per British Society Children's Orthopaedic Surgery (BSCOS) consensus statement.

Selective ultrasound screening may identify patients with neonatal hip instability, but may be ineffective for the prevention of dysplasia presenting in a...
