Hip dysplasia is a condition that affects some newborns, and while it might sound concerning, early diagnosis and treatment can make a huge difference to your child’s health and development.
To help us understand what hip dysplasia is, how it’s diagnosed, and what treatment options are available, we’re joined by our Paediatric Orthopaedic Surgeon Expert Dr Gary Nattrass for this week's episode of The Expert Guide to Parenthood Podcast.
We discuss:
- What hip dysplasia is and how it affects a child’s development
- How common hip dysplasia is in newborns
- What causes hip dysplasia and the risk factors that parents should be aware of
- How hip dysplasia can affect a child’s long-term mobility or development
- How hip dysplasia is typically detected, and the typical process that occurs when a baby is diagnosed with hip dysplasia
- What the treatment options are for hip dysplasia in newborns and infants
- The roll of a hip brace if a child has hip dysplasia and how this form of treatment works
- Top tips for parents who have a little one in a brace
- When surgery for hip dysplasia is recommended and what is involved
- The role of a physiotherapist in the treatment of hip dysplasia
- What happens if hip dysplasia in a baby is not detected and treated
