Patient's question:
The baby was found to have unstable hip joint development at 13 months. The doctors at Xinhua Hospital recommended using an abduction walking frame for treatment.Doctor's answer:
If this condition is discovered after the child starts walking, a series of surgical treatments will need to be undertaken. Early treatment of congenital hip dysplasia is best; if treated during infancy, the child will walk normally in the future and will not be affected in later life. However, if treatment is delayed, it may result in permanent limping or hip arthritis. The occurrence of pediatric hip dysplasia severely impacts the patient's life. In addition to timely treatment, patients must also pay attention to daily care. They should eat more vegetables and fruits, consume more calcium-rich foods, and avoid or reduce the chances of developing the condition.
