Pearls and Pitfalls of Hip Ultrasound

Leslie Grissom et al. Semin Ultrasound CT MR. 2020 Oct.

Abstract

Failure to appreciate key anatomic features and suboptimal sonographic technique lead to incorrect assessment of the key elements of developmental dysplasia of the hip: position, stability, and morphology. In this article, we address common errors, identify sonographic features critical for accurate image interpretation, and address measurement variability.
