Clinical study of anterior hip ultrasound (van Douveren ’s method)-assisted Pavlik harness

ConclusionThe anterior hip ultrasound (van Douveren ’s method) can be used to detect the reduction and stability of hip after Pavlik harness treatment in children with DDH. The majority of Graf type D and III hips can achieve a stable concentric reduction right after the help of Pavlik harness, while severely dislocated type IV hips have a low succ ess rate for harness treatment, and abandonment of harness therapy should be considered in early stage.
