Question
Can a 6-month-old baby with asymmetrical thigh stripes undergo an ultrasound examination?
Answer
For a 6-month-old baby, if asymmetrical thigh stripes (gluteal folds) are found, it is recommended to seek medical attention for examination. Typically, doctors would suggest an ultrasound examination of the hip joint to confirm the presence of hip dysplasia. Such examinations can detect problems early and take appropriate treatment measures to minimize the impact on the child’s future mobility.
