Hip Dysplasia Treatment

Hip dysplasia is a condition where the hip socket does not fully cover the ball of the joint, leading to instability and, over time, an increased risk of arthritis. Dr. Sanjay Rawat offers expert hip dysplasia treatment in Indore for both children and adults.

About Hip Dysplasia Treatment

Hip dysplasia occurs when the acetabulum, or hip socket, is shallower than normal, providing inadequate coverage and support for the femoral head. It can be present from birth (developmental dysplasia of the hip) or diagnosed later in adolescence or adulthood when it begins to cause pain or instability. Left untreated, hip dysplasia increases stress on the joint cartilage and labrum, accelerating the onset of hip osteoarthritis.

Symptoms of Hip Dysplasia Treatment

• Groin pain that worsens with activity
• A feeling of hip instability or looseness
• Clicking or catching sensations in the joint
• A limp, particularly noticeable in children
• Pain with prolonged standing or walking in adults

Causes of Hip Dysplasia Treatment

• Congenital shallow development of the hip socket
• Family history of hip dysplasia
• Breech birth position increasing infant risk
• Ligament laxity contributing to joint instability
• Undiagnosed dysplasia progressing into adulthood

Diagnosis

• Physical examination of hip stability, including infant screening
• X-ray to measure hip socket coverage and alignment
• MRI to assess labral and cartilage health
• Ultrasound screening in infants

Treatment Options

• Bracing or harness treatment for infants and young children
• Physiotherapy to strengthen hip stabilizing muscles
• Activity modification to reduce joint stress in adults
• Periacetabular osteotomy to reposition the hip socket
• Total hip replacement for advanced dysplasia-related arthritis
