Can congenital hip dysplasia be treated?

Patient's question:

When I was a child, I injured myself and suffered a hip joint dislocation due to poor conditions that delayed treatment. Now that I've grown up, can it still be treated? My child is five months old and has congenital hip joint dislocation. Can it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Individuals with congenital hip dysplasia may require hip replacement surgery. Hip replacement technology is now very popular. The lifespan of a hip replacement is 20 to 30 years. Therefore, young people undergo hip replacement either prematurely or without a hip joint. Whether pain affects their daily life is a decision that determines whether some pelvic hip joint angioplasty is performed, whether hip replacement is necessary, or whether they prefer to first consult the orthopedics department of a general hospital for a comprehensive evaluation to hear the orthopedics department's advice.
