Question

A friend of mine, who is 40 years old and has a baby son (his second child), found that the child’s right leg is not strong. Is this a disease? How should it be treated? Which department should we consult? Thank you!

Answer

Hello! Based on your description, it is generally a soft tissue injury of the hip joint that causes synovitis, joint effusion, or arthritis, leading to joint pain and limping. Treatment is mainly conservative. It is recommended that you consult the orthopedics department of your local hospital or the chief physician’s clinic at the workers’ hospital every Saturday to hear their opinions and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
