title: Management of congenital hip dysplasia.
abstract: In summary, congenital hip dysplasia remains a worldwide health problem, which has not been resolved by neonatal screening programs. The primary care physician's role is critical for early diagnosis. An understanding of the need for repeated examinations, the age related signs, and continued diligence is essential. The common use of the triple diaper treatment is not recommended.
