Abstract

Background: Hip dysplasia occurs in up to 3 % of neonates and if untreated can lead to dislocated hip, osteoarthritis and the need for a hip prosthesis. The study aimed to identify routines for ultrasound screening, treatment and follow-up of hip dysplasia in Norwegian hospitals.

Material and method: An online questionnaire was sent to radiologists responsible for paediatric examinations at all hospitals with paediatric departments.

Interpretation: Routines for screening, treatment and follow-up of hip dysplasia varied to a considerable degree between the hospitals.
