Hip ultrasound is used to diagnose diseases of the joints and soft tissues around the joints in both adults and children. Especially in newborns, hip ultrasound helps detect early hip dislocation and acetabular hypoplasia. From there, effective early treatment methods are provided for children.

Congenital hip dislocation is a common childhood musculoskeletal disorder that can lead to lifelong hip dysfunction and chronic pain. Early detection with screening for congenital hip dislocation and splinting is recommended to prevent future surgery and associated morbidity. To this end, hip ultrasound is considered a useful tool in children in addition to examination procedures.
