Patient's question:
The baby was found to have unstable hip joint development at 13 months. The doctors at Xinhua Hospital recommended using an abduction walking frame for treatment.Doctor's answer:
If the disease is discovered only after the child starts walking, a series of surgical treatments will need to be undertaken. The earlier the treatment for congenital hip dislocation begins, the better. If treated during infancy, the child will walk normally in the future and will not be affected in later life. However, if treatment is delayed, it may result in permanent limping or hip arthritis.
