Abstract

Authors’ conclusions: secondary screening at child healthcare centers for developmental dysplasia of the hips substantially decreased the age at diagnosis in half of the late presentation cases not diagnosed through neonatal screening, and reduced the risk of high-grade dislocation almost to a quarter.

Reviewers’ commentary: although the secondary screening for developmental dysplasia of the hips manages to detect half of the cases of late presentation, with a lower age and degree of dysplasia compared to those detected by symptoms, in this last group it is not clear if the cause is due to false negatives of the screening or to lack of it.
