Question
My child has congenital hip dislocation, and they walk unsteadily. How should it be treated?
Answer
For children with congenital hip dislocation, conservative treatment is usually performed within the first three years, including hip joint reduction followed by the use of a frog cast or brace for fixation. If the child is under two years old, direct manual reduction may not be feasible, and at this point, it may be necessary to perform surgery to release the iliacus and adductor magnus muscles, followed by reduction and external fixation. The duration of treatment will vary depending on the condition and the method of treatment.
