No sensation to pain: Hip dysplasia means the hip is not fully seated within the hip socket. This increases your risk of hip joint breakdown and injury. You may have this condition and never know about it or it can eventually lead to severe arthritis and pain.

Decreasing incidence: Hip dysplasia should b diagnosed by early exam as a new born on physical examination confirmed then by x-rays. Early treatment is very effective. It's usually found in females ; in the left hip or bilaterally. Declining dramatically since i started practice. There r no symptoms, but late walkers, ; a shorter appearance of a leg can tip one off. B sure newborns r examined shortly after birth.
