The Ortolani test is a maneuver used specifically in newborns to detect hip instability or dislocation, characteristic of developmental dysplasia of the hip. A positive Ortolani sign (a "click" felt or heard when the dislocated hip is reduced into the acetabulum) indicates the presence of this condition. Other options like the Trendelenburg sign, telescoping of the affected limb, and lordosis are not clinical manifestations typically observed in newborns with developmental dysplasia of the hip.
