Patient's question:
Born with left hip dysplasia, conservative treatment including separate holding and external abduction exercises was ineffective. At five months, a cast was applied at Ningbo Maternal and Child Hospital, which was removed after three months. The diagnosed angle was 28 degrees, and a brace was immediately applied. Now, after wearing the brace for over two months, the angle has been reduced to 24 degrees.Doctor's answer:
Whether it has recovered or not cannot be determined from a single image, but one hip joint is still poor, and the brace still needs to be worn. For now, let's not discuss how long, in two months. Additionally, as an apology, I reluctantly reviewed the uploaded image. Next time you need me to review an image, make sure it is taken with the reading light facing it, with the pelvis flat. Otherwise, I will no longer review images.
