Imaging of pediatric hip disorders.
Developmental and acquired abnormalities of the hips are common in childhood. Radiographs, MR imaging, CT, and nuclear medicine play an important role in the diagnosis and management of these disorders. Knowledge of the surgical and clinical treatments of these disorders is important to interpret accurately the radiology studies and impact treatment of the children.
