Question
The patient is a 10-year-old male with congenital hip dislocation in his right lower limb, unable to stand. He has previously undergone surgical treatment at Xiangya Hospital in Changsha.
Answer
Childhood 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 fetal hip joint is forming, the fetus’s growth was temporarily halted due to the mother’s cold, fever, or other diseases, resulting in abnormal development of the joint and dislocation. The male-to-female ratio of the disease is approximately 1:5, so young parents must pay attention to check their newborn daughters.
