Hi hip mums, can anyone help me out? My friends 6 wk old has both hips fully dislocated, what is the most likely treatment?
My DD needed a closed reduction + 12 wks hip spica + 9 months brace for one hip dislocated, but this may only have been because it wasn't picked up until 6 months. Because they have picked my friends DD up so early, is a pavlik harness all they will need? Even with full dislocation? Is she likely to need surgery to relocate the hips?
