Hi Worried Dad,

I take it from reference to the NHS you are in the UK ? Most of us on here are in Australia (although I am from the UK and have only been here a couple of years) but there are lots of us with experience of clicky hips/hip dysplasia - here is the link to the latest post in the hip dysplaysia support group

Hip Dysplaysia Support Group Thread

My daughter went into a Denis Brown Brace at 7 weeks, and came out of it at about 5 months, we have only had one follow up check since it came off and all looked ok, but they have always said there is a chance she may need further treatment, if the bone doesn't develop as they would like. My understanding is that the brace had put the joint back in place and corrected the angle but then need to wait to see the bone as opposed to cartilidge develop correctly. Did they say the hip was no longer secure? Or were they concerned about the angles?

There are lots of people in the support thread with experience of all the different types of brace and also casts.
