Question
The lower limbs are uneven in height and thickness. How should pediatric hip dislocation be treated?
Answer
Congenital pediatric hip dislocation can be treated with a walker belt method within one year of age. For children between 1 to 3 years old with mild cases, the walker belt method can still be applied. If the dislocation has not been corrected within 4 to 6 weeks, manual reduction can be used in conjunction with cast immobilization. Treatment of pediatric orthopedic diseases is crucial, but daily care should not be overlooked. Patients should pay attention to protecting the affected area, maintain a reasonable diet, and reduce the chance of recurrence.
