Patient's question:
The baby is three and a half months old. The two legs are of slightly different lengths, with a difference of less than one centimeter. One leg cannot be extended outward and to the bed. This was just recently discovered.Doctor's answer:
Conservative treatment usually involves for the first three months, after which a brace is used for fixation to maintain limited hip joint immobilization. The fixation period is generally the patient's age at the time of consultation plus three months. Follow-up checks are usually conducted every three months, with pelvic X-rays repeated for monitoring.
