What's wrong with taking the duck step?

Developmental dislocation of hip joint, also known as congenital dislocation of hip joint, is one of the main diseases that cause limb disability in children. At present, there is no clear explanation for the pathogenesis of this symptom, which is generally believed to be related to heredity, primary acetabular dysplasia, mechanical compression and incorrect posture.

Some babies are over two years old and still limping like ducks. Many parents think that it is good for their children to grow up when they are young. In fact, it is not that the baby walks like a duck, but it is probably caused by developmental dislocation of the hip joint. Parents can observe from the following aspects to make early diagnosis for their children:

1, the legs are not very active, and the length is different;

2. The wrinkles on the inner thigh and buttocks are asymmetrical;

3. The movable hip joint has a buckle;

4. Hip abduction is limited, that is, the legs cannot spread freely;

5, learn to walk late, and walk like a duck step, standing posture is not normal.

If you find such symptoms, you should pay attention to them and go to the hospital for relevant examination in time. It should be reminded that in real life, the incidence of developmental dislocation of hip joint is only a few ten thousandths, and most parents are unaware of this disease. Some parents think that children are inactive because of calcium deficiency, some parents wrap their children tightly in order to tie their legs straight, and some parents buy walkers for their children too early ... But these measures not only delay the best treatment opportunity, but also lead to dislocation of the hip joint.

At present, a set of standard surgical procedures for the treatment of developmental dislocation of hip has been formed in the world. Most children can completely return to normal after treatment, and the sooner they see a doctor, the better the effect. For example, 18 months or more, the treatment is more complicated and the effect is worse than that of younger children.
