Patient's question:
Cannot get up, found intermittent right leg weakness and toeing phenomenon in the following two weeks. On the 11th day of the month, what kind of assistance is needed: want to know if this is a symptom of congenital left hip joint subluxation, and if so, how to treat it well...Doctor's answer:
Please check your child carefully. If you notice any asymmetry in the length of the lower limbs, asymmetrical skin folds on both buttocks and the back of the thighs, difficulty in fully extending the hip joints when changing diapers, or even popping or clunking sounds, you should take your child to the hospital for a thorough examination to diagnose whether they have congenital hip dysplasia. Once diagnosed, treatment at this age is relatively simple. After reduction, both lower limbs should be placed in a high abduction position, and a triangular diaper frog-leg position splint should be used for fixation, maintaining it for 4 to 6 months for complete healing.For congenital hip subluxation, adults may consider performing a Chiari osteotomy. If one joint is dislocated and the degree is high, and it cannot be moved downward through traction, accompanied by severe pain that interferes with daily life, a femoral intertrochanteric osteotomy can be performed to alter the weight-bearing line and stabilize the symptoms. This surgery can be done in tertiary hospitals or good orthopedic hospitals.
