Hip dysplasia is a hip joint condition that affects infants. A hip is a ball and socket joint. In any normal hip, the ball is at the upper end of the thighbone which fits firmly in the socket and is a part of large pelvis bone. Infants, who are suffering from developmental dysplasia, do not have normally developed hip joints. The ball is loose in the socket and can be easily dislocated.

Developmental dysplasia in the hip is most often present at the time of birth. According to the research infants whose legs are swaddled tightly with the hips and knees have higher risks for developing dysplasia in hips. Loose hip joint, sagging skin, legs of different lengths, uneven skin folds, less mobility, and less flexibility are some of the symptoms of developing dysplasia in hips.

Dysplasia detected at the time of birth is usually corrected with the use of harness or braces. In case, if it is not detected earlier the treatment gets more complicated, with less predictable results. The treatment options depend on the age of an infant.

  1. For treating infant up to 6 months, special braces are used.
  2. For treating infant older than 6months, the surgeon puts the hip in proper position and later places it in spica cast.
  3. For treating infant more than 1-year-old, surgery is performed to reduce the hip joint and position them properly.

All these treatments are available in India with latest techniques and types of equipment. India has emerged as a prime destination for medical tourism.
