Question
How to treat congenital hip dislocation in children?
Answer
For infants between six months and 1.5 years old, non-surgical methods such as manual reduction, plaster casting, and closed reduction by manipulation can be used. Children from 1.5 to 3 years old usually require surgical treatment, including pelvic osteotomy. For children aged 3 to 8 years old, pelvic osteotomy and femoral osteotomy may be necessary. After treatment, it is important to avoid complications, use a figure-of-eight plaster cast for fixation, and closely monitor the condition.
