Introduction: Because of the risk of developmental dysplasia of the hip in infants born breech-despite a normal physical exam-the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) guidelines recommend ultrasound (US) hip imaging at 6 weeks of age for breech females and optional imaging for breech males.

1 gru 2016 · Refinement in the term “breech presentation” as a risk factor for DDH is needed to determine whether selective hip ultrasonography at 6 weeks or radiography before 6 months of age is needed for an infant with a normal clinical hip examination.
8 cze 2023 · infants < 32 wks GA noted in breech presentation at delivery or at time of an antenatal ultrasound (see Lee et al.; Hedge et al). These premature infants born prior to the typical gestation of spontaneous in utero version (32 wks) may not undergo the sustained mechanical forces necessary to predispose to DDH.
1 lis 2023 · The update includes a recommendation to perform the following for breech babies (breech at birth or any point during third trimester): a six-week screening ultrasound followed by a single AP pelvis radiograph at 6 months of age.
To review our incidence of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in breech infants referred for ultrasound screening and to determine if subsequent follow-up radiographs are necessary in these patients with normal clinical and ultrasound examinations.
25 lut 2016 · To assess the association between gestational age versus corrected age at the time of hip ultrasound with findings for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in preterm breech infants.
18 sie 2021 · One recent study measured the acetabular index of 94 infant hips from breech infants with normal ultrasounds at approximately 6-weeks and who had follow-up pelvic x-rays at approximately 6-months of age. They defined DDH as the single threshold of acetabular index (AI) ≥30.
