Hi There,

I am another newby. My daughter Jasmin was diagnosed yesterday with hip dysplasia at 6.5 months old. SHe has been to her 6 week check etc but it went undetected. It wasnt until someone at childcare picked up on her different length legs last week that we had it checked out and sure enough diagnosed. We see an orthopedic surgeon this coming Monday (they certainly like to get teh ball rolling quickly once they find out as she only had ultrasounds and x-rays yesterday). I was just wondering if anyone can tell me what to expect. I kind of have some idea that she will likely have an open/closed reduction and then a cast for 3 months but that is about all I have any ideas about. Dont even really know if this is a reasonable assumption or if it is possible she wont even need surgery? Anyone with a similar experience that can let me know what they went through?

Thanks
Ingrid
