Question
Today, a 25-year-old female has congenital hip dislocation that has never been treated. Her left leg is shorter and thinner than her right leg, and she walks with a slight limp. After walking for a long time, she experiences a slight pain at the root of her thigh. She has been to the hospital for an examination, and they said to consider surgery only when the pain becomes unbearable.
Answer
Adult congenital hip dislocation, if not treated promptly, can lead to traumatic arthritis, femoral head necrosis, and other complications later on. Early treatment of congenital hip dislocation is more effective, and surgery is often the preferred treatment method. The specific surgical approach is determined based on age and acetabular index. It is strongly recommended to seek treatment in a regular, top-tier hospital.
