Developmental hip dysplasia (DHD) is a condition where the hip joint doesn’t form properly in a newborn baby. At Medace Clinic, we understand the importance of early diagnosis and intervention for optimal outcomes in DHD treatment. Our team of experienced pediatric orthopedists offers comprehensive care to ensure the proper development of your child’s hips, promoting healthy mobility and preventing future complications.
Understanding Developmental Hip Dysplasia:
In a healthy hip joint, the ball of the femur (thigh bone) fits snugly into the socket of the pelvis. In DHD, the socket may be shallow or underdeveloped, causing the hip joint to be unstable. This instability can affect hip development and lead to complications if left untreated.
Risk Factors for DHD:
While the exact cause of DHD is unknown, certain factors can increase a baby’s risk:
Signs and Symptoms of DHD:
Early signs of DHD can be subtle, but here are some indicators to watch for:
Diagnosis at Medace Clinic:
Early diagnosis is crucial for successful treatment. Our doctors will perform a physical examination to assess your baby’s hip mobility and range of motion. Imaging studies like X-rays or ultrasounds may be used to confirm the diagnosis.
Treatment Options for DHD at Medace Clinic:
The treatment approach for DHD depends on the severity and the age at which it’s diagnosed. Here’s how we address DHD at different stages:

Bharathraj Bhandary2024-02-25I had visited Medace Clinic in Kothanur for my Tennis Elbow issue in my right hand. I was recommended for Physiotherapy treatment. I underwent this treatment for 4 days in the clinic (daily visit for treatment) and was given few exercises to be done at home post that. I got a huge relief from this treatment. The Physiotherapist was very good. She had a good knowledge and was able to get to the exact pain and provided the treatment. My pain has reduced drastically and I am able to do the daily activities without any pain now. Will be joining back to gym as well in 4 to 5 days.
