A test to detect a dislocated hip in the newborn. The examiner flexes the knees and encircles them with the hands so that the thumbs lie along the medial sides of the thighs and the fingers over the trochanters. Then, the hips are flexed to a right angle and gently abducted. If a hip is dislocated, as full abduction is approached the femoral head will be felt slipping in to the acetabulum. An audible click may accompany the displacement. Restriction of abduction may indicate an irreducible dislocation. 2, record 1, English, - Ortolani%27s%20test

La manœuvre d'Ortolani porte en abduction à 90° et en flexion à 90° les deux cuisses symétriquement. Elle réalise ainsi un geste de réduction, accompagnée d'un ressaut palpable, visible, parfois audible («clic»). Le retour à la position normale, membres inférieurs étendus, s'accompagne d'un ressaut inverse qui traduit la récidive de la luxation. 2, record 1, French, - man%26oelig%3Buvre%20d%27Ortolani
