LOINC description : This study is for the assessment of hip joints for developmental hip dysplasia. This
term refers to a developmental condition, (sometimes referred to as congenital) dysplasia,
in the hip that includes frank dislocation (luxation), partial dislocation (subluxation),
instability where the femoral head comes in and out of the socket, and an array of
radiographic abnormalities that reflect inadequate formation of the acetabulum.1 The
practice of ultrasonographic imaging of the cartilaginous newborn hip began in the
1980s, and it has been established as an accurate method for imaging the hip and its
stability, as the soft tissue structures that are not visible on routine X-Rays can
be visualized.1,2,4 Static ultrasound evaluation assesses the hip morphology. Ultrasound
can also demonstrate hip instability and can be done as the hip is moved, a dynamic
evaluation, which assesses the stability of the femoral head in the socket as the
person doing the test is able to see the femoral head moving in and out of the socket.
1,2,3 Ultrasound can also be done to demonstrate improvement in stability.;
