Question
Can children fully recover after hip dislocation surgery?
Answer
The recovery outcome after hip dislocation surgery varies from individual to individual, but early treatment usually yields better results. Children treated within two months, as well as those between three months and one year old, can achieve ideal effects through reduction and immobilization. For children aged 1 to 3 years, traction and surgery may be required for reset. Most children between 3 and 8 years old will need surgical treatment, and the effectiveness will worsen with age. Treatment for children over 8 years old is more challenging and the outcomes are poorer.
