Hip dysplasia is a relatively common hip disorder. In severe cases, there is significant pain and limping, and hip replacement needs to be considered in cases where the quality of life is seriously affected. However, with the introduction of newborn screening, the vast majority of hip dysplasia is intervened in childhood. Hip dysplasia found in adulthood is usually mild and may be asymptomatic.
In cases where hip pain is present and the skeletal structure fits the indications for hip preservation osteotomy, hip preservation surgery can slow down the progression of joint degeneration. For asymptomatic cases that do not interfere with life and work, regular review is sufficient.
