Hip dysplasia in infants occurs when the hip bone and socket are not formed properly –– ranging from minor looseness in one or both of their hip joints to complete dislocation. While infant hip dysplasia can be resolved with a Pavlik harness or rhino hip abduction brace, even mild hip dysplasia can cause problems in adulthood, such as arthritis or hip replacement.
In this video, Margaret Siobhan Murphy-Zane, MD, discusses the causes of infant hip dysplasia (e.g., breech positioning during birth, tight swaddling), standard treatments and the importance of diagnosing within the first few months of life. Normally, pediatricians refer patients for ultrasounds at 6 weeks of age, unless they suspect the hip is dislocated.
