Why is Hip Ultrasound Important in Neonatal Disorders?
Early detection of hip abnormalities is crucial for prompt intervention and effective treatment. Hip ultrasound offers several advantages:
It provides detailed imaging of both the cartilage and bones, which is essential in the early weeks of life when much of the hip joint is still cartilaginous. It is safe and does not involve radiation exposure, making it ideal for use in infants. It allows for dynamic assessment, helping to evaluate the stability of the hip joint.
