A member asked:
In medical terms could someone please explain to me what exactly is congenital disclocation of the hip?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Medical terms: This generally refers to the head of the femur not being located in the acetabulum of the pelvic bone or able to be dislocated from the acetabulum. It is more common in girls and more common in breech babies. When picked up early it is very treatable often without surgery.
