For newborns, the first hip screening is performed immediately after birth by a neonatologist specialist. However, in addition to this, it is recommended to repeat the examination at 6–10 weeks and again at 3–4 months of age. Supplementary ultrasound examinations performed later can help in the early detection and treatment of hip joint problems in infants and young children. The purpose of the examination is to detect hip joint abnormalities and related hip problems early on. They are particularly used to screen for hip dysplasia and other developmental abnormalities.

During the hip ultrasound examination, the orthopedic specialist evaluates the anatomy and stability of the joint, as well as any possible abnormalities, using an ultrasound machine. Based on the results, recommendations are provided for further treatment or care.
