Symptoms of Developmental Dysplasia Of The Hip
If your baby has any of these symptoms do not assume it is due to DDH. These symptoms may be caused by other conditions. Tell the doctor if your baby has any of these:
- One leg shorter than the other
- Poor mobility and flexibility
- Limping, lurching, walking on toes, or other unevenness in walk (duck-like gait)
- Uneven folds in the area of the thigh or hip
DDH more commonly affects the left hip. But sometimes both hip joints are affected. The doctor may detect the condition when the baby is born. In other cases, DDH is not diagnosed until the baby starts walking.
