Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is the designation given to a spectrum of structural changes in the developing hip. Ultrasound is the preferred imaging method for screening this condition in newborns and children under 1 year old. Pubofemoral distance (PFD) has been proposed as a new screening method for developmental dysplasia of the hip. The aim of this study is to assess the accuracy of PFD for developmental dysplasia of the hip using the Graf method as reference standard. Read More

Hip ultrasonography is now considered the main method for screening, diagnosing and monitoring the treatment of development dysplasia of hip (DDH) in children, considering the advantages of the method and the excellent characterization of the anatomical elements of the infant hip which, at this stage of life, consists largely of cartilage. In 1980, Reinhard Graf, an Austrian pediatric orthopedist published child hip study work from about 20,000 stillbirths. He evaluated and studied through hip ultrasound the hip joint and determined in a single coronal section the hip classification. The purpose of this article is to explain in a didactic and detailed way the method of Graf, focusing on the reference points for its realization and proper interpretation. Read More
