Establishing reference values for the pubofemoral distance in normal infant medial hips by ultrasound.

CONCLUSION: This study established reference PFD values from the medial hip in infants aged 0-12 months. PFD values increased with age, but were not significantly influenced by laterality or gender. These data provide detailed information that can support follow-up of infants treated for DDH.
