Patient's question:
A baby born only about 20 days ago was found to have its right foot sole always turning outward (right). Upon closer examination, it was noticed that its hip creases and thigh creases were somewhat asymmetrical, raising concerns about whether it might be suffering from hip dysplasia?Doctor's answer:
The child is too young. It is really not necessary to take X-rays. Instead, diagnosis should be made through a doctor's physical examination and ultrasound. It is also important to consult an experienced pediatric orthopedist and an ultrasound doctor for hip joint ultrasound examination. The occurrence of pediatric orthopedic diseases severely affects the patient's health. In addition to symptomatic treatment, patients need to pay more attention to daily care. Rest and nutritional support should be strengthened to avoid or reduce the incidence of the disease.
