Patient's question:
The baby is three months old and makes a joint sound like an adult when standing. What's the reason? Are both legs the same length? Can congenital hip dysplasia sometimes make both legs the same length and sometimes different lengths?Doctor's answer:
It may be due to a hip joint problem. Advice: Congenital hip dysplasia is one of the more common congenital deformities in children. Subsequently, meniscal injury is more common. It is present at birth, with a higher prevalence in girls than boys, approximately 6:1. The left side is twice as common as the right side, while bilateral cases are less frequent. The main causes are congenital developmental abnormalities or malformations of the acetabulum, femoral head, joint capsule, ligaments, and nearby muscles, leading to joint laxity, partial meniscal injury, or meniscal injury. Additionally, abnormal positioning of the fetus in the uterus, excessive flexion of the hip joint, and intergenerational genetic factors can also contribute to this condition. The above advice is for the question "My three-month-old baby makes a joint sound like an adult when they stand up." It is hoped to assist you. Wishing you good health!
