Utility of routine X-ray surveillance following hip sonography for developmental dysplasia in children: a single-center study spanning a decade

CONCLUSIONS: The data demonstrate pathological findings even after successful conservative treatment of DDH. Worsening of X-ray findings appear less frequent in mild dysplasia. These insights support routine radiographic follow-up assessments after successful conservative therapy. However, further dedicated studies are needed to determine whether patients with initially normal radiographs require radiographic …
