[Sonographic measures of the hip joint of 1328 newborns of Han and Uygur nationalities-relative factors of congenital dislocation of hip].
The four sonographic methods (Engesaeter, Terjesen, Graf, Morin-Harcke) were used for examining the hip joint of 1328 newborns of Han and Uygur nationalities. The difference between Han and Uygur newborns was not statistical significant, but some literatures reported that in our country, the incidence of different nationalities in different regions varied. Our conclusion is that there is no obvious relationship between the depth of the acetabulum and the percentage of the femoral head covered by the acetabulum. It is caused by other factors, inherent or acquired. The value of the hip joint of the male and female has significant difference (P < 0.0005). The incidence of CDH in girls is much higher than that in boys. This may be related to the different depth of the acetabulum and different percentage of the femoral head covered by the acetabulum. In the period of newborn, girl's depth of the acetabulum is smaller than that of boys.
