Abstract

Mastering the art of roentgenographic analysis of the pediatric AP pelvis is paramount in the evaluation of developmental dysplasia of the hip. Understanding the normal radiographic development and the age-dependent changes in normal values allows assessment for pathologic changes. The goal of improving the analysis of the AP pelvis is to increase early detection of disease, assess progress toward normal values, and precisely follow the effects of treatment to improve clinical outcomes.
