Patient's question:
The baby fell off the stroller a couple of days ago while trying to get down and didn't land properly. His foot was injured, but the child didn't cry or fuss. The injured foot has been feeling strained, especially when walking, and it's slightly outward. In the photo, at that position, when touched with the hand, it feels like there's a protrusion! If it's necessary to go to the hospital, should I go to the pediatric department or the orthopedics department? Thank you, doctor!Doctor's answer:
After trauma, reappearing foot eversion may not rule out the possibility of hip dislocation. It is recommended that you visit the orthopedic department for a follow-up examination, undergo a physical examination, and if necessary, have an X-ray performed to further confirm the diagnosis. Additionally, it is advised not to engage in activities off the bed in the near future to avoid aggravating the condition.The above suggestions are in response to the question, "What should I do if my baby twisted their foot while getting off the cart two days ago?" I hope this is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
