India is known for its vast numbers and little babies with occult diseases are the first to bear the brunt of conditions which have very few symptoms to start with. DDH is one such condition which most unfortunately expresses itself as a symptom only when it's too late, i.e., most often when the child begins to walk. Ultrasound is the modality of choice in neonates; however, since India is a country of modest means, in majority of the regions, radiographs still remain the first line of investigation.
