The Galeazzi test, also known as the Allis sign, is used in the assessment of congenital dislocation/developmental dysplasia of the hip. It is performed by flexing an infant's knees in the supine position so that the ankles touch the buttocks. If the knees are not level then the test is positive, indicating a potential congenital hip malformation.[1]
