About this document

Managing Developmental Hip Dysplasia by Mark Christian Cui is a document available to read on EtoBox.

DDH refers to abnormal hip development that occurs in infants and children. The goal of treatment is to promote proper hip development and prevent complications. Initial management may involve observation and monitoring for mild cases. Orthotic devices like hip abduction braces or Pavlik harnesses are sometimes used to maintain proper hip alignment. If non-surgical methods are not effective, surgical intervention like tenotomy, open reduction, femoral or pelvic osteotomy, or hip replacement may be necessary
