Hip Dysplasia?

2014-04-11 10:18 pm

When I was 2 I had an operation for Hip Dysplasia as my hip joint didn't form properly. Im 15 now and ever since then its been fine but its been painful for the past 2 months and I've had a bad limp and cant move it that much, it feels stiff as well. so I went for an x-ray and they said it hasn't grown or formed as much as it should have like my other one im going to a orthopaedic next month about it to see what I need done. Would I need surgery? Do I have Hip Dysplasia all over again? What will they tell me?:(x

I think you will have to be patient and wait for the orthopaedic appointment.
Surgery may be an option but he may want to wait until you have stopped growing. Other options might include physiotherapy or a heel raise to your shoe to compensate for the difference in length, this might also help the limp.
