Hip dysplasia[edit]
Hip dysplasia is a condition that occurs when the hip joint is not properly formed, leading to instability and potential dislocation. It is most commonly diagnosed in infants, but can also occur later in life.
Causes[edit]
Hip dysplasia can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetic predisposition, breech birth, and certain cultural practices such as swaddling with the legs extended and pressed together. Genetic factors are believed to play a significant role, as the condition is more common in certain families and populations.
Symptoms[edit]
The symptoms of hip dysplasia can vary depending on the age of the individual and the severity of the condition. In infants, symptoms may include a leg that appears shorter than the other, decreased mobility on one side, and asymmetrical folds of skin on the thigh or buttocks. In older children and adults, symptoms may include hip pain, limping, and osteoarthritis.
Diagnosis[edit]
Diagnosis of hip dysplasia is typically made through a combination of physical examination and imaging studies. During a physical examination, a doctor may perform specific maneuvers to check for instability in the hip. Imaging studies, such as ultrasound in infants and x-ray in older children and adults, can provide further information about the structure of the hip joint.
Treatment[edit]
Treatment for hip dysplasia depends on the age of the individual and the severity of the condition. In infants, treatment often involves the use of a special harness or brace to hold the hip joint in the correct position. In some cases, surgery may be necessary. In adults, treatment may involve physical therapy, pain management, and in severe cases, surgery.
