How to solve hip dysplasia

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 1 centimeter. One leg cannot be extended outward to touch the bed. This was just recently discovered.

Doctor's answer:

Conservative treatment typically involves for the first three months, after which a brace is used for fixation to maintain limited hip joint immobilization. The fixation period is usually the patient's age at the time of consultation plus three months. Generally, follow-up examinations are conducted every three months, with pelvic X-rays repeated for monitoring.
