Patient's question:
My neighbor's grandmother's grandson is already three years old this year. When the child was born, he had a congenital disease. At that time, the child was too young to have surgery in time. Because he is getting older year by year, he is afraid that it will affect the child's condition, and he wants to go to the hospital for surgery. Please ask about the treatment methods for pediatric congenital hip dislocation.Doctor's answer:
Hello, friend, this treatment depends on the child's age. If the child is in the neonatal period to 6 months, this age group is mainly treated conservatively, primarily with the use of an abduction splint. From 6 months to 1.5 years, manual closed reduction and treatment are mainly used. From 1.5 years to 3 years, surgery is generally required. According to the child's age, follow the advice of the local doctor.
