  • 1. Dr. von Haunersches Kinderspital der Universitaet Muenchen, Universitaets-Kinderklinik, Roentgenabteilung, Munich (Germany)

Description

Already the very first issue of the journal 'Fortschritte auf dem Gebiet der Roentgenstrahlen' founded in 1897 contains an article by Albert Hoffa which deals with congenital dislocation of the hip. This is an indication that radiology has been concerned with this disorder from its beginning. This paper discusses the incidence of the disease and the ineffectiveness of mass radiological screening
