Hip ultrasound is generally recommended for newborns and infants who fall into the following categories:
Babies born in the breech position, as they have a higher risk of hip dysplasia. Infants with a family history of hip dysplasia. Newborns with clinical signs of hip instability, such as a positive Barlow or Ortolani test. Babies with other risk factors, including female gender and first-born status.
