[The use of sonography as a complementary procedure in the orthopedic hip diagnosis in newborn infants (a pilot study)].

In this study we tried to complete the clinical Newborn-control by sonographically investigation at the Newborn-ward. The routine clinical and sonographical combination seems to be successful. Further investigation will be necessary for the sonographic analysis of the physiologic and dysplastic acetabulum. Here we must discuss, if radiological signs can be partially translated for sonography. At last the study checked further technical-sonographical details.
