Patient's question:
Learn to walk is like this to take an X-ray in the orthopedics department. The result is that the hip bone is displaced, and the doctor said that surgical treatment is needed. Situation: The help you want to get: 1. What surgery is relatively safe? 2. What is the postoperative effect? Can you walk normally?Doctor's answer:
Treatment is related to the patient's age: The prognosis of this disease hinges on early diagnosis. The earlier the treatment, the better the outcome. As age increases, the pathological changes become more severe, and the therapeutic effect becomes poorer.For infants under 1 year old, the Pavlik harness method is used. If hip joint subluxation or dislocation is detected within 8-9 weeks after birth, the Pavlik harness can be applied for 6-9 months. It only restricts the extension of the hip joint, while other activities remain unrestricted. Except for a small number of cases with obstacles to reduction within the hip joint, the majority of children can achieve reduction treatment without developing avascular necrosis of the femoral head.
Alternative methods include the use of a onesie stocking and an abduction swaddling brace, which should be maintained for more than 4 months.
