Patient's question:
Baby is 44 days old. The doctor found asymmetry in the leg creases and limited abduction. We visited the children's hospital here, and later an ultrasound examination was performed. The results are as follows: The left femoral head is located below the acetabulum, with slightly rounded acetabular bone margins, α angle of 61 degrees, β angle of 63 degrees, no ossification center, and bone margin coverage greater than 50%. The right femoral head is also located below the acetabulum, with slightly rounded acetabular bone margins, α angle of 60 degrees, β angle of 63 degrees, no ossification center, and bone margin coverage greater than 50%. Then the doctor at the hospital told me that both hip joints have developmental issues.Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be caused by a calcium deficiency. It is recommended to supplement with calcium, which can be done in two ways: taking calcium supplements and dietary calcium. The most common and traditional calcium-rich foods are dairy products, which not only contain a high amount of calcium but are also easily absorbed. Dairy products are also rich in minerals and vitamins, including vitamin D, which can promote calcium absorption and utilization. Yogurt is another excellent calcium-rich food. It not only helps with calcium supplementation but also contains beneficial bacteria that can regulate intestinal function, making it suitable for all age groups. For those who dislike milk or are lactose intolerant, they can consume more alternative foods such as oysters, nori, cabbage, cauliflower, Chinese cabbage, daikon radish, kale, and spinach.
