Hip problems in children. Aids to early recognition.
Awareness of the age at which various pediatric hip disorders present and familiarity with their characteristics greatly aid in early detection. A properly performed physical examination is still the mainstay of early diagnosis. The earlier a hip disorder is discovered and treated, the less the chance of lasting harm to the child.
