Congenital Hip Dysplasia
Congenital hip dysplasia is a developmental abnormality of the hip joint present from birth, in which the head of the femur does not fit properly into its socket. Detecting it early favors better development of the joint.
Signs that may be noticed: in babies you may observe asymmetric leg folds, limited spreading of the thighs, or a difference in limb length.
When is it worth checking? Routine newborn checkups are key to identifying it; if there is any concern about the baby's hip, it is worth mentioning during the visit.
Which specialist treats it? The orthopedist, especially one focused on children, is the one who evaluates and follows up on the joint, while the pediatrician takes part in detection during developmental checkups. If you notice anything unusual in your baby's hips, bring it up promptly with a professional.
