Patient's question:
My son is now five months and nine days old. When he had a physical examination about three months ago, it was found that his gluteal folds and leg creases were asymmetrical. An ultrasound of the hip joint was performed, but no calcification center was detected. At five months, the asymmetry still existed, so another X-ray was taken, which also showed no abnormalities. He always prefers to stand on his toes, with the left foot being more pronounced. He is slightly overweight and currently cannot roll over. However, since we live in the countryside, it's cold in winter, and he is dressed warmly. I'm not sure if these factors have had any impact.Doctor's answer:
Generally, surgical methods are required for correction treatment, as oral medications are not effective. It is recommended to seek treatment at the hospital using minimally invasive surgery. Pay attention to postoperative care and infection prevention, avoiding spicy foods. The occurrence of developmental dysplasia of the hip in children severely affects the patient's work. In addition to active treatment, patients must also pay attention to daily care, protect the affected area, maintain a balanced diet, and avoid or reduce the chances of occurrence.
