Question
How to treat a baby boy’s hip joint laxity detected during an ultrasound?
Answer
Infant hip dislocation, also known as congenital hip dislocation, is present at birth. The main reason is that during the 2nd to 3rd month of pregnancy, when the fetus is in the formation stage of the hip joint, the fetus’s growth was temporarily halted due to the mother’s cold, fever, or other diseases, resulting in the joint not developing normally and causing dislocation. Poor development of the infant hip joint can severely affect the patient’s quality of life. In addition to symptomatic treatment, it is crucial to pay attention to daily care. It is recommended to consume more vegetables and fruits, and foods rich in calcium to avoid or reduce the risk of recurrence.
