Congenital hip dysplasia in children may be caused by congenital factors, genetic factors, or endocrine factors. In short, congenital hip dysplasia in children is caused by many reasons, which vary from individual to individual. If there is a family history of hip joints in the family, a color ultrasound examination should be done between 1 month and 6 months after the child is born. X-ray examination was performed later. Before going to the hospital for examination, it is very important for many parents to carefully observe some of their children's physical signs to determine whether their children have hip dysplasia. Now we will introduce some symptoms related to congenital dysplasia in children.
1. Bilateral buttock lines are asymmetrical
The skin texture of the child's bilateral thighs and buttocks is asymmetrical in number, location, size, and depth, but the skin lines are not. Symmetry also does not completely confirm hip dysplasia.
2. Bilateral hip joint activity asymmetry
During the growth and development of the child, parents should observe the mobility of the child's lower limbs and observe the movements of the lower limbs such as staring and jumping. Whether the amplitude and frequency are the same? If one side is weak, it should be suspected that the side with less activity may have dysplasia.
3. Walking with a limp
After a child learns to walk, one leg appears to be lame, or always externally rotated, or walks like a duck, which may be due to hip dysplasia.
4. The length of both lower limbs is not equal
The child lies on his back, bend the knees and hips 85 to 90 degrees, and bring the two ankles together. If the two knees are on the same level , indicating that the lengths of both lower limbs are not equal, which may be hip dysplasia.
Here, pediatric orthopedic experts from Zhengzhou Orthopedic Hospital remind parents that children with hip dysplasia must be discovered and treated early to avoid leaving their children with lifelong regrets.
