Abstract
One thousand consecutive infants, 437 girls and 563 boys, attending their first DPT
vaccination at a mean age of 48 days underwent ultrasonological screening of the
hips by Graf’s technique at the immunization clinic of a tertiary hospital in South
India. Graf I (mature) hips were seen bilaterally in 925 children. The incidence of
Graf type II hips was 74/1000 infants. The incidence of sonographically abnormal
hips (II, III and IV) in this population was 7.5%. The hip dislocation rate was 1 in
1000 (0.1%).
