At Dhyan Health Care Pvt. Ltd., we prioritize the early detection and treatment of hip dysplasia to ensure healthy growth and mobility in children. Congenital Hip Dysplasia (CHD) and Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) are critical conditions that, if left untreated, can lead to significant mobility issues and long-term complications. Our team of experts is dedicated to providing comprehensive care tailored to the needs of each child.
Understanding Hip Dysplasia
Congenital Hip Dysplasia (CHD) is a condition present at birth where the hip joint has not formed properly. Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) can occur as a child grows, typically within the first year of life. In both conditions, the head of the femur is not securely seated in the hip socket, leading to instability and potential dislocation.
Causes and Risk Factors
Several factors contribute to the development of CHD and DDH, including:
- Genetics: A family history of hip dysplasia increases the risk.
- Birth Position: Breech births and first-born children are more susceptible.
- Gender: Girls are more frequently affected than boys.
- Environmental Factors: Swaddling techniques that keep the legs straight and together may contribute to hip dysplasia.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
Early detection is crucial for effective treatment. Symptoms of hip dysplasia may include:
- Asymmetrical leg lengths
- Uneven skin folds on the thighs
- Limited range of motion in the affected leg
- A clicking or popping sound in the hip joint
Diagnosis is typically made through a physical examination and confirmed with imaging techniques such as ultrasound or X-ray.
