Abstract:
Routine echographical neonatal diagnosis of congenital dislocation of the hip is today a good method of treatment of this pathology: early diagnosis, infarct, allows treatment in early years with complete healing as shown by long term follow-up. 596 newborns have met with echographic hip screening: the method has shown good result and the study has led us to realize an anamnestical schema pointed on the familiarity which is one of the pathognomic matters of this pathology.
