i had that, i had conservative treatmen in spica cast and then was hospitalized in traction, i was under a specialist for almost 15 years as they had to really monitor it, have you seen a specialist yet? Also just to let you know the outcome is good. i am now 24 dont really have any problems with it and can do anything i wish, nothing is limited. i play rugby everyweek and never had a problem
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Please do not panic.Congenital dislocation of hip is a treatable condition and the treatment varies from conservative management with splints and casts to surgical repair for severe cases.
You need to have a long term follow up so I would suggest you consult an orthopaedic surgeon specialising in pediatric cases in your vicinity .You can also take your child to the nearest tertiary institute or government hospital where expert opinion and a whole team of doctors is available.You can find them through find a doctor application on this site.
Thank you.
