The Authors have analyzed the results of the ultrasound exams of the hips made in the Department of Pediatric Radiology, of the Catania University between 1993-1996 on 2000 little patients aged from 0 to 7 months. The aim of the examination was to define the frequency of the congenital dysplasia of the hip among the population of South-East Sicily because in literature there are no sure data. After a keen analysis of these data one can affirm that the incidence of the congenital dysplasia of the hip among the population of South-East Sicily is of 2.55% with the overwhelming prevalence in the females (M/F = 1/5). This percentage is thus comparable to the national one, and this allow us to confirm the great importance of the mass screening to prevent the congenital dysplasia of the hip even in Sicily.
作者分析了1993年至1996年间在卡塔尼亚大学儿科放射科对2000名年龄在0至7个月的小儿患者进行的髋关节超声检查结果。检查的目的是确定西西里岛东南部人群中先天性髋关节发育不良的发生率，因为文献中没有确切数据。对这些数据进行深入分析后可以肯定，西西里岛东南部人群中先天性髋关节发育不良的发生率为2.55%，女性患病率极高（男/女=1/5）。因此，这一百分比与全国水平相当，这使我们能够确认，即使在西西里岛，大规模筛查对于预防先天性髋关节发育不良也非常重要。
