Question
Is it normal for a 1-year-and-a-half-old baby to have leg lines? Online sources say that uneven leg lines might indicate hip joint dislocation. How should I check my child?
Answer
Based on the child’s walking posture and leg line condition, it is currently not possible to determine if there is a hip joint dislocation. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for an X-ray of the hip joint in both anteroposterior and lateral views to confirm if there is any dislocation. Additionally, the walking posture of a 1-year-and-a-half-old child is typically not fully stable, and walking with the toes not pointing forward and walking with legs apart may be a normal phenomenon.
