title: The orthopedic evaluation of the neonate.
abstract: A method for the orthopedic evaluation of a child during the neonatal period of life has been discussed. Emphasis has been placed on conditions affecting the lower extremities such as spinal anomalies, congenitally dislocated hip, and congenital foot disorders. Early detection and medical intervention can play an important role in lower extremity function.
