Question
A patient was diagnosed with congenital hip dislocation in childhood and underwent traction and massage therapy. During the recent follow-up, it was found that both hip sockets were underdeveloped and shallow. The patient had previously used Henggu Bone Injury Healing Agent for treatment, with no significant effect. The patient wants to know if this medication is suitable for this condition and if there are other treatment options available.
Answer
The treatment for congenital hip dislocation typically cannot correct the congenital developmental abnormalities of the hip joint, and the main goal is to alleviate symptoms. According to the X-ray, the shape of the hip sockets may not improve. It is recommended that if there are no symptoms, treatment is not necessary; if severe pain is present, consider taking traditional Chinese medicine to alleviate symptoms. If there are abnormal walking postures, it is suggested to undergo surgical treatment. These suggestions may be helpful for the issue of “congenital hip dislocation with bilateral hip meniscus injury,” and I hope they are helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
