Hip Dysplasia in Adults and Children

• The hip is a robust ball-and-socket joint where
  the femoral head (the ball) fits into the
  acetabulum (the socket), allowing smooth movement
  and optimal weight distribution.
• Unfortunately, in cases of hip dysplasia, this
  proper fit doesnt happen.
• The ball may not snugly fit into the socket,
  leading to instability, friction, early wear and
  tear, ultimately resulting in early-onset
  arthritis.

Hip Dysplasia in Adults and Children

• Patients with hip dysplasia often experience pain
  and instability, limping, restricted hip
  movements, ultimately leading to hip joint
  dislocation, and the need for joint replacement,
  says Dr. Chirag Patel, a consultant in hip
  replacement and a joint replacement specialist in
  Mumbai.
• In short, hip dysplasia is a painful condition
  that progressively worsens with age.
• Unfortunately, this condition can affect patients
  of all age groups from babies to adults.
• In this blog, let us find out about the outlook
  of this condition in both babies and adults.

Hip Dysplasia in Adults and Children

• Hip Dysplasia in Babies Children
• In babies happens when the hip joint is not
  adequately formed at the time of birth. It is
  considered a congenital condition affecting
  around 3 in 10,000 babies born every year.
• In 50 of cases, dysplasia can be stealth, where
  the baby shows no symptoms, making early
  detection a key factor in babies.
• This type of dysplasia is called congenital
  dysplasia.
• While babies can be born with hip dysplasia, the
  condition can also develop in infancy and
  childhood due to swaddling practices, genetic
  factors, or other causes.
• On average, is more common among girls than
  boys, particularly among first-born babies with
  larger birth weight.

Hip Dysplasia in Adults and Children

• Causes in Hip Dysplasia Adults
• Undiagnosed and unidentified hip dysplasia in
  childhood can persist into adulthood and manifest
  as severe hip dysplasia in adults.
• In some cases, it can also be acquired,
  resulting from excessive stress, physical trauma,
  and injury.
• In some cases, patients have a genetic
  predisposition to develop in others, it can be
  a side effect of arthritis or even
  pregnancy-related hip changes, particularly in
  women, says joint replacement specialist in
  Mumbai, Dr. Chirag Patel.

Hip Dysplasia in Adults and Children

• Untreated Hip Dysplasia in Adults Symptoms
• Hip pain, limping, reduced range of motion, hip
  instability, and discomfort during physical
  activity, and early onset of arthritis are common
  symptoms of hip dysplasia in adults.
• Conservative treatment for hip dysplasia in
  adults includes pain medication, lifestyle
  modification, pain management, weight management,
  and physical therapy, which is often employed to
  relieve pain and improve the condition when
  conservative treatment options fail to deliver
  the right results.
