Patient's question:
I would like to trouble the doctor to help me take a look at my baby's ultrasound report and see if it is congenital hip dysplasia. How can I assist in the treatment at home during the period at home.The disease: Please help diagnose whether it is bilateral hip joint dislocation. The measurements of both hips are normal. Reference values: α 59.6-60.9 (greater than 60), β 43.5-42.1 (less than 55), acetabular angle 30-30-18 to 55, femoral head coverage 59%-60% (greater than 58%), no ossification center of the femoral head is visible.
Ultrasound findings: The α angle and femoral head coverage of both hips are at the critical value, suggesting a follow-up examination.
Previous treatment history and effectiveness: The baby is 40 days old at birth and has undergone a follow-up examination. There is no history of heredity or allergies.
The help I need: The above results are from today's bilateral hip joint ultrasound report. I hope the doctor can provide a reply on whether it is congenital hip dysplasia. If it is confirmed, what measures can I take at home to help the baby correct it. The doctor also checked the lower limbs and recommended a follow-up examination in 20 days. Thank you.
