Hip dysplasia: follow-up and brace instructions
Appointments, follow-up and individual brace instructions for hip dysplasia, explained with dedicated illustrations.
Following the hip as it develops
Dysplasia affects hip development. Examination and age-appropriate imaging help determine whether observation or treatment is needed and how to plan follow-up.
Instructions for your own baby
If a brace is prescribed, the treating team teaches you how to manage it and specifies wearing time and follow-up. Do not change its adjustments yourself: this illustration supports the discussion and does not show how to fit the device.
When to contact the team
During treatment, if your baby stops moving a leg, contact the treating team straight away. Also report skin sores or persistent rubbing marks rather than waiting for the scheduled appointment.
