Relying primarily on screening programs on techniques of physical examination for the early diagnosis and treatment of the abnormalities in congenital hip has not been of persistent successful as it is expected to be. The “Preventive Services Task Force” of the United States concluded that due to insufficient evidence it cannot be recommendable that much for routine screening of kids for hip abnormalities. However, the lack of adequate result doesn’t mean screening is totally insignificant. This certainly means that there has been lack of scientific proof about the value of screening to the public health officials and statisticians.
It is seen that new born kids are at higher risk for this hip abnormality condition along with those whose family has history of DDH. They are born breech-that is feet or buttocks first, or those who are born with a loose or dislocated hip. This gives rise to arthritis in older age. Another root of joints pain is osteoarthritis. Thus, screening kids for such hip abnormalities can cure the issue or may at least delay the problem of arthritis. Early screening and diagnosing always helps as a growing flexible body parts always gives more response than an old full developed body parts. It is much easier to provide medical treatment to the infant body parts than any full grown already highly damaged body parts.
