Ultrasound is a suitable radiation-free alternative for hip surveillance in children with cerebral palsy or developmental dysplasia of the hip older than one year
US is a reliable alternative to radiography for hip surveillance in detecting hip decentration in children with CP and DDH. It reduces radiation exposure while maintaining diagnostic accuracy. The findings support the adoption of US in clinical practice to improve early diagnosis and intervention.
