Patient's question:
Poor development of bilateral femoral heads, located in the outer superior acetabulum. Bilateral acetabular angles are increased, with the right acetabular angle approximately 43 degrees and the left acetabular angle approximately 49 degrees. Schüntz's line is discontinuous. (Nine-month-old girl)Doctor's answer:
Hello, if congenital hip dysplasia can be detected in babies within the first year of life, it is usually treatable with the use of a cast. The cast helps maintain the correct position of the baby's hip joint, allowing for normal development. The earlier hip dislocation is treated, the more effective it is, because the first year is the period of fastest hip joint development in babies. Early correction allows most babies to develop completely normally.
