This article presents the results of non-selective ultrasound screening of hip joint dysplasia among newborns and the comparative picture of pathologic changes considering the presence or absence of risk factors. Analyzing the data we came to the conclusion that the incidence of hip pathology in our country corresponds to the data available in leading European countries and is 3 times more common in at-risk groups. Moreover, among more frequently met risk factors is the abnormal position of the fetus and large weight of the newborn at birth. Considering the number of cases identified in late stages in our Republic, it is important to undertake a wide range of screening examinations through development of optimal protocols on treatment of newborns with hip joint pathology.
