Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) is a condition in which the hip joint does not develop normally, causing the hip socket and thighbone to fit improperly. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can help support healthy hip development and reduce the risk of long-term problems.
The DDH treatment package is designed to support children through evaluation, diagnosis, treatment planning, and follow-up care. Depending on the child's age and severity of hip dysplasia, treatment may include observation, a Pavlik harness, bracing, closed reduction, or surgical correction.
Evaluation and Treatment
The care process may include a detailed clinical examination and appropriate imaging such as hip ultrasound or X-ray. The pediatric orthopedic specialist assesses hip stability and recommends treatment based on the child's age, development, and individual condition.
