ERRATUM

Abstract

In the article by Aronsson et al entitled "Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip" that appears in the August issue of Pediatrics (1994;94:201-208), page 203, part of the legend in Figure 1 is incorrect. It should read as follows:

Drawings demonstrating the technique for performing the Ortolani and Barlow maneuvers. The Ortolani sign is obtained by gently abducting the leg and a palpable "clunk" is felt as the femoral head slides over the posterior rim of the acetabulum into the socket. This is called the sign of entry. The Barlow provocative test is obtained by adducting the hip and pushing gently on the knee and a palpable "clunk" is felt as the femoral head slides over the posterior rim of the acetabulum and out of the socket. This is called the sign of exit.
