Patient's question:
No.Doctor's answer:
1 year or younger, use the Pavlik harness method. At 8-9 weeks postpartum, if hip joint subluxation or dislocation is detected, the Pavlik harness can be used for 6-9 months. It only restricts hip joint extension, while other activities remain unrestricted. Except for a small number of cases with internal obstacles to reduction, the majority of children can achieve reduction treatment without the risk of avascular necrosis of the femoral head. There are also methods such as the body stocking method and the abduction swaddling brace method, which should be maintained for more than 4 months.
