Question

I had a hip dislocation caused by a fall when I was young, and treatment was delayed due to poor conditions. Can it still be treated now that I’m grown up? My child is five months old and has congenital hip dislocation. Can it be treated?

Answer

Adults with congenital hip dislocation may require hip joint replacement surgery. Currently, artificial hip joint technology is very popular, with a lifespan of 20 to 30 years. For young individuals, if the hip joint degenerates prematurely or if there is no hip joint, hip joint replacement surgery can be considered. Whether surgery is necessary depends on whether the pain affects daily life. You can consult the orthopedic department of a comprehensive hospital first, undergo a comprehensive evaluation, and listen to the expert’s advice to make a decision. For your child, the specific treatment method needs to be determined based on individual circumstances, and it is recommended to consult with a doctor to obtain a detailed treatment plan.
