My DD had EXACTLY the same thing. - Clicky hip picked up at birth then referral to ortho surgeon and ultrasounds every 2 months (all Clear) up until she was 6 months. she DID have the x-ray done at 6 months and her ovaries WERE shielded by two magnetic looking love hearts - one for each ovary. Not sure why they've told you your DD's wouldn't be shielded?. i asked many questions and i asked why the x-ray had to be be done at 6 months, and was told by ortho that this is when the cruical hip/socket development (or under development depending on the child) will be picked up straight away and can then be acted on quickly rather than leaving it until later.....

Anyhoo, having said all the above you are absolutely within your rights to refuse treatment
That's interesting, thanks for that info. I only got advice from my GP who said rather than risk doing two xrays (in case the ovary shield blocks the part they're trying to xray on the first attempt) they probably wouldn't use the shield... maybe he's wrong.

I'm confident the hips are fine, the percentages are way above what's even considered borderline.
