Patient's question:
Today, a 25-year-old woman with congenital hip dysplasia has never been treated. Her left leg is shorter and thinner than her right leg, and she walks with a slight limp. After walking for a long time, she feels a little pain in the upper part of her thigh. She has been to the hospital for a check-up and was told to consider surgery when the pain becomes unbearable.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you receive treatment in a regular and professional hospital. If a congenital hip dislocation in adults is not treated in a timely manner, it can lead to complications such as traumatic arthritis and avascular necrosis of the femoral head in the later stages. The earlier treatment for congenital hip dislocation is administered, the better the outcome. Treatment often involves surgery, with the specific surgical method determined based on age and acetabular index. It is strongly advised to seek treatment in a reputable, top-tier hospital.
