With the increase in population and the decrease in infant mortality rates in the world and in Turkey, the problems seen in newborn babies cause more issues in their youth and adulthood. There are blood tests and screenings to detect these problems early on. However, for Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH), which is frequently seen in newborns, there is unfortunately no objective parameter that can diagnose the condition early. Diagnosing DDH requires an experienced radiologist and orthopedist, as well as a well-functioning health screening system. Thus, its diagnosis is relatively difficult, and if not detected, the consequences can be more severe. To diagnose and prevent possible complications, each country applies a different systematic approach. The main theme of this systematic approach is to perform a hip examination on every newborn, whether symptomatic or not, and in case of any issues, to follow up with a hip ultrasound and graph scoring for early treatment. In newborns diagnosed and intervened early, the morbidity rate is almost negligible.

Since 2020, has been actively working as a resident physician in the Orthopedics and Traumatology Department at Ankara Etlik City Hospital. For over 3 years, examinations and the most important screening test, hip ultrasound, have been performed individually in the pediatric orthopedics department. In April 2022, an oral presentation on screening tests was given at the National Pediatric Orthopedics Conference.
