What should I do if the physical examination reveals congenital hip dysplasia?

Patient's question:

My daughter's six-month check-up revealed left hip α61, β61, and right hip α65, β59. Labrum was visible on both sides, and the center of the femoral head was fixed.

Doctor's answer:

According to the described situation, this may be related to congenital hip dysplasia, also known as developmental hip dysplasia or developmental dysplasia of the hip, which is a relatively common congenital malformation. The femoral head is located within the joint capsule and has lost its normal relationship with the acetabulum, making it unable to develop normally before and after birth. Timely immobilization treatment is required. It is recommended to provide the best treatment for infants and young children. The traction method can be used for treatment. If it cannot be reset manually after 4-6 weeks, manual adjustment can be performed.
