Sonography in congenital deficiency of the femur
1Department of Medical Imaging, Alfred I. duPont Institute, Wilmington, DE 19899.
Abstract:
Dynamic hip sonography was performed in 15 infants (19 hips) with congenital abnormalities of the hip. Radiographs of all 15 patients revealed congenital deficiency of the femur (CDF), type I-V, using the classification described by Kalamchi et al. Sonography was accurate in delineating hip position and morphology in all cases, and was a helpful adjunct to radiography in defining the hip joints in 13 hips with type II and type III deficiency of the femur.
