Ultrasound examination of the hip joint in newborn and infants (aged 1.5 - 3 months) is a safe and non-invasive diagnostic method that allows for an objective assessment of the structure and developmental dynamics of the hip joint.

The examination is particularly important during this age period, when the joint is still in the process of formation and any changes need to be identified at an early stage.

Through this study, it is possible to visualize the anatomical elements of the hip joint, assess its symmetry, stability, and level of development. This enables the timely detection of pathological changes and the prevention of serious complications.

Ultrasound of the hip joint in newborns and infants is widely used both as part of preventive screening and in clinical practice, as it is safe, accessible, and can be performed repeatedly.
