Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Developmental dysplasia of the hip is a condition in which the hip joint does not form or fit together properly, present from birth or the first months of life. The head of the femur and the hip socket do not maintain a stable relationship.
How it can be detected: Asymmetry in the leg folds, a difference in leg movement or length, or findings during a baby's checkups.
When to seek care? Early evaluation in infancy is key; it is worth checking any sign noticed by the family or the pediatrician.
Which specialist treats it? The pediatric orthopedist is the go-to professional, in coordination with the pediatrician who monitors the child's development. Detecting it in time allows for better support, so it is worth discussing any concerns with a health professional.
