Patient's question:
The skinfold on the thigh is asymmetrical. Three lines are drawn on both hip joints, forming β angles and α angles. The β angle of the left hip joint is 61° and the α angle is 51°, while the β angle of the right hip joint is 32° and the α angle is 60°.Cross-scan: The right femoral head is located at the center of the Y cartilage, while the left femoral head is slightly deviated from the center of the Y cartilage. Bone centers are palpable on both sides.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, developmental dysplasia of the hip can present with the following symptoms:Appearance: Asymmetry of the thigh and calf compared to the opposite side (1-1, 1-2), which may manifest as thickening and shortening or thinning, external rotation (unilateral); widened hips (bilateral).
Skin Creases: Increased, deeper, and asymmetrically elevated skin creases in the buttocks, groin, and thigh (1-3, 1-4).
Limb Movement: Reduced movement in the affected limb, most noticeable during diaper changes. It is recommended to take an X-ray to confirm the diagnosis. If it is not developmental dysplasia of the hip, it may still be related to high muscle tone. You can go to the hospital for a follow-up check.
