Summary

This study tests whether a simple checklist can help general practitioners (GPs) better identify hip dysplasia in 6-week-old babies. About 172 GP practices in England will either use the checklist or continue their usual exams. The goal is to see if the checklist reduces missed cases and unnecessary referrals to specialists, while also saving costs for families and the health service.
