Question
Left hipsocket angle: 32 degrees, right hipsocket angle: 31 degrees. No treatment has been received yet. Inquiry: Is it necessary to use a body-joint hip orthosis?
Answer
When the hipsocket angles exceed 30 degrees, it is advisable to use a body-joint hip orthosis. The focus of treatment for congenital hip dislocation lies in early detection, diagnosis, and treatment. If a baby’s hipsocket angles are greater than 30 degrees, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and wear a body-joint hip orthosis for treatment.
