[Sonographic screening of neonates' hips. Analysis of the years 1986-1988 and comparison with 1977-1979].

: Establishing a sonographical neonate hip screening program in three nearby counties has made us able to simplify our management in socalled "congenital dysplasia of the hip". Earliest diagnosis has led to a percentage of conservative treatment of 95% and therefore to a reduction of surgical interventions and less inpatient treatment. Our results force us to urge a state covering sonographical neonate hip screening done by educated specialists (Orthopaedic surgeons, Paediatricians, Radiologists).
