Acetabular dysplasia in children is mostly congenital and needs to be evaluated by a specialist for targeted treatment, including repositioning and orthopedic surgery.
1. Repositioning: If children with acetabular dysplasia are detected early, the femoral head can be reset into the acetabulum by manipulation, and then a hip cast can be applied. After a period of immobilization, the femoral head will stimulate the development of the acetabulum, which can effectively treat acetabular dysplasia in children.
2. Osteotomy and orthopedic surgery: For some children, due to the unsatisfactory effect of manipulation and frog cast fixation, osteotomy and orthopedic surgery can be performed. For example, femoral osteotomy, acetabular osteotomy, etc., can make the acetabulum wrap and cover the femoral head.
Children with acetabular dysplasia need to be treated as early as possible, and need to be diagnosed and evaluated by a specialist to formulate a corresponding treatment plan, and be handled as early as possible, so as to avoid delaying the child’s condition, which may cause adverse effects.
