Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) is a potentially serious yet highly manageable condition when detected early. A comprehensive Hip Scan (DDH Screening) provides a detailed view of how an infant’s hip joint is forming and functioning during the crucial first weeks of life. This advanced ultrasound-based procedure allows radiologists to visualize the dynamic movement of the hip bones and surrounding soft tissues, ensuring that both the ball and socket align properly.

The screening is gentle, completely safe, and ideal for infants with higher risk factors such as breech presentation, family history of DDH, or noticeable leg asymmetry. Performed in a calm and comfortable setting, the scan delivers valuable insights into joint stability and structure without any discomfort to the baby.

At Dr. Ashwini’s Scans and Labs, Bangalore, experienced pediatric radiologists employ precise, high-resolution imaging to identify subtle irregularities before symptoms appear. These early findings guide pediatricians in recommending corrective techniques such as physiotherapy or supportive harnessing, ensuring natural hip development and stability.

By enabling timely diagnosis, this comprehensive assessment promotes strong and well-aligned joints while preventing long-term complications. Each scan safeguards a child’s ability to move, crawl, and walk freely, fostering lifelong orthopedic health.
