The ASA doesn’t have a policy or guidelines on Pediatric hips as protocols via from state to state . With regard to the FHC, again it varies state to state with those who only use FHC ( ie common in NSW) relying on over 58% as normal .Where those that use a combination of technique Grafs, Harkes and Morins, tend to use over 50 % as being equivalent to Graf 2a which is undeveloped rather than true dysplasia and 58% as normal. The important thing is to use established evidence based criteria and to ensure the measurements are applied correctly. Also focus should be on obtaining the correct image with the correct landmarks.
