Patient's question:
Male infant, born with asymmetrical leg creases, the child had no other obvious symptoms. At 11 months, he was taken to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor recommended X-ray imaging, which showed: bilateral acetabular development was normal, and bilateral tibia and fibula development was normal. Clinical doctors at Hebei Children's Hospital diagnosed mild hip dysplasia, with a narrowing ring on the left ankle bone and slight lateral curvature of the lower leg.Now at 14 months, after a follow-up examination, the X-ray report concluded:
1. Original bilateral hip dislocation, now reduced, with the right acetabulum slightly shallow.
2. Narrowing ring on the left ankle bone, with no abnormalities in the tibia and fibula.
The doctors at the Children's Hospital advised continuing hip flexion exercises and increasing the number of beads from 6 to 8 on the previously used chain, while extending the middle crossbar to a distance of 16 cm.
Doctor's answer:
Hip joint development is good, no need to wear a brace. Walking exercises can be practiced.
