Congenital Developmental Dysplasia Treatment in Indore
Congenital Developmental Dysplasia Treatment in Indore
Congenital developmental dysplasia, also known as developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), is a condition where the hip joint does not develop properly in newborns or infants. It can range from mild instability to complete dislocation of the hip joint. DDH occurs due to abnormal development of the hip joint during pregnancy or in the early months of life. If left untreated, DDH can lead to hip pain, limping, and arthritis later in life. Early detection and intervention are crucial for successful treatment.
Treatment
Treatment for congenital developmental dysplasia depends on the severity of the condition and the age of the child. In infants under six months old, treatment may involve the use of a special device called a Pavlik harness to help hold the hip joint in the correct position and encourage normal development. For older infants and children, treatment may include a closed reduction procedure, where the hip joint is manually maneuvered back into place under anesthesia, followed by the use of a spica cast to keep the hip stable during healing. In some cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to correct severe hip dysplasia.

Frequently Asked Questions
Risk factors for DDH include a family history of the condition, breech presentation at birth, and being a firstborn female.
DDH is typically diagnosed through a physical examination, including the Ortolani and Barlow maneuvers, and confirmed with imaging studies such as ultrasound or X-rays.
While DDH cannot always be prevented, swaddling techniques that allow for healthy hip movement, avoiding tight swaddling or baby carriers that force the legs into extension, and regular pediatric check-ups can help detect the condition early and prevent complications.
With early detection and appropriate treatment, the prognosis for children with DDH is generally excellent. Most children go on to develop normal hip function and lead active, healthy lives.
