The position of the femoral head in spica cast after the reduction of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) should be examined and followed up closely and regularly. The study aimed to use the transgluteal ultrasonography approach for this purpose and compare its accuracy with the results of CT scan, which is the most commonly used modality.
