Patient's question:
The patient is a girl, two and a half years old. She was diagnosed with short femoral heads by the doctor at birth.Doctor's answer:
The condition you described may be caused by calcium deficiency. There are two ways to supplement calcium: calcium supplements and dietary calcium. The most common and traditional calcium-rich foods are dairy products, which not only contain a high amount of calcium but are also easily absorbed. Examples include oysters, nori, cabbage, cauliflower, Chinese cabbage, green radishes, kale, and pak choi. The occurrence of pediatric hip dysplasia severely affects the patient's life. In addition to active treatment, patients need to pay more attention to daily care. Rest and nutritional support should be emphasized to avoid or reduce the risk of onset.
