NHS baby check may miss dislocated hips in newborn babies

A collaboration between the University of Oxford and University of Leeds shows that the tests currently used by doctors can be unreliable. Using data on 27,000 babies, their research, published in JAMA, found the best tests miss over half of abnormal hips and indicates that for every 1,000 hips screened, four dislocations will be identified, but five will be missed.
