We reviewed radiographs and CT scans of 38 total hip arthroplasties which had dislocated (36 posteriorly; 2 anteriorly) and compared the alignment of the prosthetic components with those of 14 uncomplicated arthroplasties. No difference was found between the alignment of the prosthetic components in the two groups. In the seven patients who had reoperations, the cause of

A technique of examining the infant hip joint with real-time ultrasound is described. Since the cartilaginous femoral head is clearly imaged by ultrasound, anatomical structures and their relationships can be accurately determined. Dislocated hips are easily detected and subluxations also can be visualized. We report our experience with 131 examinations in 104 patients, comprising 259 single hip studies. Of 83 patients who were previously untreated, there were 178 hip studies with three false-negative and four false-positive ultrasound results. No
