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 congenital hip dislocation in children?Doctor's answer:
Six months to one and a half years, manual reduction, cast immobilization, closed reduction under anesthesia, hospital admission, joint relaxation, post-reduction cast. The cast has specific requirements, generally using an H-shaped cast, and avoiding complications as much as possible. For children aged one and a half to three years, surgical treatment is primarily used, with the general method being combined with pelvic osteotomy. For children over three years old, 3 to 8 years old, a minority may require pelvic osteotomy and femoral osteotomy, with different surgical methods.
