On fIrst examination we found 1302 neonates (158/1000 live births) to have abnormal hips 1063 (81.6%) were prone to subluxation (subluxatable), 218 (16.81 %) prone to dislocation (dislocatable), 17 (1.3%) were dislocated and 4 (0.3%) were teratologic. The newborns with abnormal hips were followed in a neonatal OPD held for this purpose. After the sixth month of life 1272 (97.7%) of the neonatally unstable hips had resolved spontaneously, leaving 30 hips with true congenital dislocation (3.6/1000 live births).
