Popis: BACKGROUND: Congenital hip dysplasia is a common limb deformity in infants and young children. This study aimed to clarify the feasibility of ultrasound Graf method in screening congenital hip dysplasia of infants and young children, and its application value in follow-up treatment. METHODS: A total of 1,313 infants and young children with clinically suspected congenital hip dysplasia in our hospital from December 2016 to January 2018 were selected as the participants and were examined by ultrasound Graf method. The acetabulum shape and the measured values of α and β angles of the participants were observed. The development of the hip joint and distribution of congenital hip dysplasia were analyzed, and the treatment effect was followed up. RESULTS: Among 1,313 infants and young children with suspected congenital hip dysplasia, the positive rate of congenital hip dysplasia was 6.02% (79/1,313). The lesions were located on both sides in 14 cases, on the left side in 67 cases, and on the right side in 26 cases. The α angle of cases with congenital hip dysplasia was significantly lower than that of normal cases, and the β angle was significantly higher than that of normal cases (P
