The ultrasound appearance of positive hip instability tests.
In a study assessing the use of ultrasound in the detection of neonatal hip abnormalities, the clinical findings in unstable hips were correlated with the ultrasound appearance during the instability provocation tests. Both hip displacement and concentric reduction of the femoral head in relation to the acetabulum could be defined with the ultrasound image.
