Pediatric Hip Disorders

Pediatric hip disorders such as DDH, Perthes disease, and SCFE require early diagnosis and expert care. At Aarshiva Hospital and ICU, we provide bracing, reduction, and surgical treatment options to restore hip stability and ensure healthy growth and mobility.

Pediatric Hip Disorder Treatment in Children

Pediatric hip disorders are conditions that affect the normal development and stability of the hip joint in infants, children, and adolescents. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are essential to prevent long-term disability and joint damage.

At Aarshiva Hospital and ICU, we provide comprehensive evaluation and advanced orthopedic treatment for various childhood hip conditions.


Common Pediatric Hip Conditions We Treat

1️⃣ Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH)

A condition where the hip joint is unstable or improperly formed at birth. Early screening and bracing can prevent future complications.

2️⃣ Perthes Disease

A childhood hip disorder caused by temporary loss of blood supply to the femoral head, leading to bone weakness and pain.

3️⃣ Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE)

A condition usually seen in adolescents where the head of the thigh bone slips from its normal position, causing pain and walking difficulty.


Symptoms of Pediatric Hip Disorders

  • Hip or groin pain

  • Limping or abnormal walking pattern

  • Limited hip movement

  • Leg length difference

  • Clicking or instability in infants

Early orthopedic evaluation improves treatment outcomes.


Treatment Options

Depending on the condition and severity, treatment may include:

  • Bracing for early-stage DDH

  • Closed or open reduction procedures

  • Surgical stabilization

  • Corrective osteotomy

  • Post-treatment rehabilitation and physiotherapy

Our goal is to restore proper hip alignment, ensure stable joint function, and support normal growth and development.


Why Early Treatment is Important

Timely management helps:

  • Prevent permanent joint damage

  • Reduce risk of arthritis in adulthood

  • Restore pain-free movement

  • Maintain balanced posture and walking

At Aarshiva Hospital and ICU, we focus on accurate diagnosis, individualized treatment planning, and long-term follow-up to ensure optimal hip development in children.
