Question
A patient reported experiencing severe pain in the leg and buttock area after sitting down or after prolonged inactivity, which was diagnosed by a doctor as congenital hip dysplasia. How should this condition be handled?
Answer
Congenital hip dislocation, also known as developmental hip dysplasia, is one of the main diseases causing physical disabilities in children. This condition affects the normal function of the hip joint, thereby impacting walking and daily life. Currently, medication is ineffective for this condition. However, with the advancement of clinical medical technology, patients should timely seek surgical evaluation at their local hospital’s orthopedic department, so that experts can perform surgical treatment based on the actual situation.
