Patient's question:
The daughter has bilateral hip dysplasia. At 10 months old, she underwent bilateral intra-articular release combined with (plaster immobilization). After 2.5 months, the plaster was removed. X-rays showed a left hip angle of 22 degrees and a right hip angle of 20 degrees. The doctor said the development was good, and after using a brace, her hips almost reached 180 degrees. It has been one month now. The child often sits in a 180-degree position in bed, sometimes sits on a small stool and frequently strains to stand up on the ground, or when being held, she tries her best to push her legs backward with both feet in a 180-degree direction. I wonder if this affects recovery. Should I encourage her to stand?Doctor's answer:
Babies with congenital hip dysplasia and hip joint dislocation, regardless of the treatment method used, need to pay attention to timely follow-up for a long period of time to ensure normal hip joint development, thereby achieving the best effect of hip joint development treatment. The occurrence of pediatric hip dysplasia seriously affects the patient's health. In addition to timely treatment, patients need to pay more attention to daily care. Rest should be taken, and nutrition should be strengthened to avoid or reduce the incidence of the disease.
