Patient's question:
Patient is male, currently 10 years old, suffering from congenital pseudarthrosis. The right lower limb cannot stand. He underwent surgical treatment at Xiangya Hospital in Changsha when he was one to two years old.Doctor's answer:
Developmental dysplasia of the hip, also known as congenital hip dysplasia, is formed at birth. The main cause is that during the second to third month of pregnancy, when the fetal hip joint is forming, the mother's cold, fever, or other illnesses cause a temporary halt in fetal growth, leading to abnormal joint development and resulting in dislocation. The ratio of affected males to females is approximately 1:5, and when a girl is born, young parents must pay attention to checking for this condition.
