DDH Screening & Treatment for Infants and Children
Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) is a condition in which the hip joint does not develop normally, potentially causing hip instability, limited movement, or difficulty walking as a child grows. Early DDH screening and diagnosis can help doctors identify hip development concerns and decide on appropriate treatment.
What Does the Package Include?
The DDH screening and treatment package is designed to support timely evaluation by a pediatric orthopedic specialist. Depending on the child's age and clinical findings, assessment may include a physical examination and appropriate imaging such as hip ultrasound or X-ray.
Treatment for Developmental Hip Dysplasia
Treatment depends on the child's age, hip development, and severity of the condition. Younger infants may be treated with positioning devices such as a Pavlik harness, while older children may require other orthopedic treatments or surgical intervention when clinically indicated. Your specialist will recommend the most appropriate approach after evaluation.
