Hip angles differed in infants screened before, after 44 weeks corrected gestational age

CHICAGO — Results presented here showed infants at high risk for developmental dysplasia of the hip had lower alpha angles and higher beta angles when screened before 44 weeks corrected gestational age.
“Our study demonstrates that there is a difference in the angles that you get when you screen a premature baby vs. a baby who is term,” Sheena C. Ranade, MD, assistant professor at Mount Sinai Hospital, told Healio about results presented at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Annual Meeting. “Whether that has clinical significance is still to be determined, but
