Demographic data, DDH risk factors, and results of DDH screenings on physical exam and US were collected. Descriptive analysis was completed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Of the 300 preterm breech infants, there was only 1 case of DDH (0.3% incidence). This infant had positive findings of DDH on physical exam and US at 44 to 46 weeks corrected GA and was born at 29 weeks. Of 155 preterm breech newborns born at &lt;29 weeks, there were no patients who had positive findings for DDH on physical exam or US. All patients who had negative physical exam findings were negative for DDH on US.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Despite the presence of known DDH risk factors in our population, the incidence in preterm breech newborns was 0.3%, lower than incidences reported in the current literature. Of infants born at &lt;29 weeks, there were no infants who had a positive diagnosis of DDH on physical exam or on US. Universal US screening of very preterm breech infants born at &lt;29 weeks may not be necessary due to the significantly lower prevalence of DDH in this population, especially in the absence of positive findings for DDH on prior physical exams.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2653-6805","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,24]],"date-time":"2025-07-24T22:53:20Z","timestamp":1753397600000},"page":"527-534","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Evaluation of the Use of Ultrasounds in the Diagnosis of Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip in Premature Breech Newborns"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"43","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5353-4298","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christina E.","family":"Hum","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cooper Medical School of Rowan University, Camden, New Jersey"},{"name":"Department of Medicine, Northwell Health, North Shore University Hospital\/Long Island Jewish Medical Center, Hempstead, New York"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Krystal","family":"Hunter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute, Cooper University Hospital Camden, New Jersey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Keri M.","family":"Cronin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Mount Sinai Morningside-West, New York, New York"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sarah E.","family":"Davenport","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neonatology and Newborn\/Infant Intensive Care Unit, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vishwanath","family":"Bhat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neonatology, Department of Pediatrics, Cooper University Hospital, Camden, New Jersey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8623-493X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alla","family":"Kushnir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cooper Medical School of Rowan University, Camden, New Jersey"},{"name":"Division of Neonatology, Department of Pediatrics, Cooper University Hospital, Camden, New Jersey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,24]]},"reference":[{"issue":"07","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"552","DOI":"10.1038\/jp.2016.7","article-title":"Sonographic screening for developmental dysplasia of the hip in preterm breech infants: do current guidelines address the specific needs of premature infants?","volume":"36","author":"J Lee","year":"2016","journal-title":"J Perinatol"},{"issue":"03","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e344","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejrad.2011.11.003","article-title":"A meta-analysis of common risk factors associated with the diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip in newborns","volume":"81","author":"C L Ortiz-Neira","year":"2012","journal-title":"Eur J Radiol"},{"issue":"04","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"272","DOI":"10.1302\/1863-2548.11.160261","article-title":"Incidence of acetabular dysplasia in breech infants following initially normal ultrasound: the effect of variable diagnostic criteria","volume":"11","author":"C M Brusalis","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Child Orthop"},{"issue":"05","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"607","DOI":"10.1111\/1471-0528.12013","article-title":"Risk of developmental dysplasia of the hip in breech presentation: the effect of successful external cephalic version","volume":"120","author":"A F Lambeek","year":"2013","journal-title":"BJOG"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"896","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.105.4.896","article-title":"Clinical practice guideline: early detection of developmental dysplasia of the hip.
