L'examen clinique du nouveau-né apporte certains arguments en faveur d'une affection de la hanche. Le critère le plus fiable est le «signe du ressaut», palpable et parfois audible et visible. Tenant fermement les cuisses, le genou et la hanche fléchis à 90°, le ressaut de dehors en dedans (d'entrée) indique une hanche luxée qui se réduit tandis que le ressaut de dedans en dehors (de sortie) montre une hanche luxable. 3, record 1, French, - signe%20d%27Ortolani
