The most prevalent congenital condition affecting the musculoskeletal system in infants is called developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), which includes a range of conditions from a stable hip with a slightly dysplastic acetabulum to total hip dislocation. Over the past few decades, systematic screening for newborn DDH has been carried out globally, and it has made a significant contribution to the early diagnosis, treatment, and detection of DDH. Nonetheless, among the screened population, there are still some instances of delayed diagnosis or, on the other hand, overdiagnosis or overtreatment on occasion. Moreover, there is ongoing debate on DDH screening methods. Our study's objective was to examine the available research on DDH screening, with a focus on the efficacy of various DDH screening techniques. Using PubMed, we searched MEDLINE and other databases for the DDH screening literature from 1958 to 2022. In this study, we examined the development of screening tactics and the history of DDH screening. We also talked about the debates surrounding ultrasonography and clinical screening techniques, focusing especially on the views that are now held. Universal ultrasound screening appears to be the best choice for preventing late-detected cases and can be suggested as a beneficial preventive strategy in light of the current scientific evidence and modifications in neonatal DDH screening techniques.
