Abstract

Pediatric hip disorders encompass a wide range of pediatric hip problems including congenital and developmental disorders and acquired disorders. Ultrasonography has an important role to detect developmental dysplasia of the hip in neonatal period and to evaluate joint effusion in painful hip, while plain radiography detects bony abnormalities in patients with suspected hip disorders. Although multidetector CT shares its multiplanar imaging capabilities, MRI“MR imaging” has been changed to “MRI” throughout for consistency. Please check if okay. provides an excellent soft tissue contrast and is indispensable to evaluate pediatric musculoskeletal system that consists of various cartilaginous structures.
