DESCRIPTION:

Eight infants a day are diagnosed with hip dysplasia in Australia. Despite this, the likelihood of a parent being aware of the condition is only 57 percent. This limited awareness contributes to the rising number of those diagnosed late with this potentially life-changing condition.

Hip dysplasia, or developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), occurs when the ball and socket do not fit together in their 'normal' position. Sometimes this is due to abnormal development and lack of hip joint growth. It can result in months — and sometimes years — of medical treatment. Left undiagnosed, it's one of the leading causes of early-onset arthritis of the hip and, possibly, the need for a hip replacement; it is a significant public health issue. Treatment is optimized when diagnosis occurs within the first three months of life.


During International Hip Dysplasia Awareness Month, parents and parents-to-be are urged to educate themselves about the risk factors for and potential signs of hip dysplasia, and to ensure their children's hips are checked not only at birth but at 1-4 weeks, 6-8 weeks, 6-9 months, 12-months, and then at regular health reviews until 3.5 years of age.
