Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed discomfort in my legs and feet, and after checking into the hospital, I was diagnosed with this condition. There were no obvious symptoms in the early stages.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 footed garment method and the abduction swaddling brace method, which should be maintained for more than 4 months.
