Ultrasound of the hip joints
What you need to know about hip ultrasound
Ultrasound of the hip joints is an examination in which a specialist can determine dysplasia, preluxation or dislocation of the hip. It is very important to detect these pathologies before the age of one, because if this is not done in the early stages and adequate treatment is not carried out, there is a significant risk of disability. With early diagnosis of hip joint pathologies and timely consultation with a pediatric orthopedist, children under one year of age can avoid surgical intervention in the future.
