内容説明
Preventive medicine is increasingly gaining in importance, but screening for hip problems is often not performed effectively. This book brings together all the theory and practical facts of screening for Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) for use on a day-to-day basis in the clinical environment. The nature of this disorder makes it one which is not always detectable at birth, but may develop and progress during the early months of life, therefore it is essential that all practitioners involved in the primary care chain have a clear understanding of what to look for and how to manage it. This comprehensive volume covers all aspects of screening, from detailed descriptions of the tests (well illustrated), to timing of screening; treatment of 'missed' DDH; evaluation of the role of Ultrasound; and ethical, legal and management considerations.
