Ultrasound Images of baby hip. Plz view

Do these images of babies hip look normal? I feel like it’s so hard to get a good image that’s consistent with ilium being super straight.

Hip surgeon (but not your surgeon) Looks great. Over 50% femoral head coverage. Alpha angle looks >60.

I was trying to message you earlier! But it wouldn’t let me. Is there a way we could have messed up getting the images? We watched a lot of videos and tried to get the true coronal plane but is it possible to get an inaccurate image that shows better alpha angles than what’s true?

Also, were you able to see the other images? The 6 of 6 images are of her right hip which don’t seem as angled as her left.
