Hip correction

With the continuous development of modern medical technology, the impact on people is also relatively large. In fact, for many people, joint correction is very important. When correcting the hip joint, you must first recognize the correction method and choose the appropriate method for treatment according to the patient's condition. Some are dysplastic and do not necessarily need to be corrected to recover.

Can hip exercises treat hip dysplasia in infants?

With the popularization of medical science knowledge and the improvement of parents' awareness of children's health care, many places and grassroots hospitals in China have carried out hip joint screening for newborns and infants under 6 months old. Hip joint B-ultrasound screening can detect cases of hip dysplasia at an early stage, and early intervention methods can be taken, which has achieved very good results. It is worthy of recognition and promotion. Beijing Jishuitan Hospital reported 1277 cases of 1556 hips undergoing primary total hip replacement. The etiology analysis showed that hip dysplasia accounted for about 29%, ranking second only to femoral head necrosis. Lloyd-Roberts et al. reported that about one-third of hip osteoarthritis (OA) is caused by hip dysplasia in infancy. The basic cause of hip dysplasia appears in infancy, and typical symptoms of osteoarthritis such as hip pain and lameness usually appear around the age of 30. According to statistics, the average age of joint replacement surgery is 40-50 years old. Therefore, the serious consequences of hip dysplasia in infants and young children may not manifest themselves until the children reach adulthood.

Regardless of the accuracy of domestic hip ultrasound screening, it is an indisputable fact that there are huge differences in medical diagnosis levels among different regions and hospitals in the country. Just for hip dysplasia detected by hip B-ultrasound screening, many doctors recommend that parents use "hip exercises", "frog exercises" and "hip abduction exercises" to treat it. There are senior doctors from tertiary hospitals, young doctors from community hospitals, orthopedic doctors, and health doctors.

I remember that in March 2013, a 2-month-old baby in Shanghai suffered a suspected thigh fracture while doing "hip joint exercises" at a maternity and baby confinement center. The incident caused a sensation and received widespread attention.

I dare not comment on the twists and turns of this matter, but one thing is, can exercises (including frog exercises, hip exercises, hip abduction exercises and many other kinds of exercises) treat hip dysplasia? Where is its theoretical basis and large-sample retrospective evaluation? As far as I know, whether exercises are effective in treating hip dysplasia in infants and young children has been clinically confirmed so far! In other words, there is no sufficient evidence at home and abroad to prove that exercises can treat hip dysplasia! This should be taken seriously by doctors and parents.
