Children with suspected developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) often undergo both anteroposterior (AP) and frog-leg lateral (FL) radiographs of the hips to derive their associated acetabular indices (AI) in gauging the maturity and development of their hips. Unfortunately, when the AP view is suboptimally positioned, repeat imaging is often necessary, resulting in additional radiation exposure. This study aims to determine whether FL radiographs are equivalent to AP radiographs for measuring AI in children being evaluated for suspected DDH. Read More
