At delivery, the MD determined the baby would probably have bilateral hip dysplasia due to being in the breech position. Having one's feet up by their ears during development does not work well for hip socket development.

The newborn was followed up with the orthopedic specialist, who confirmed moderate to severe hip dysplasia on the right and moderate on the left. They put her in a Pavlik brace to maintain the hips at a 90-degree angle, worn 24 hours a day.

We started care when the patient was just under 2 weeks old. We followed the OD and adjusted KST when and where directed. Follow-up: Baby went to the MD to have her hips officially checked. She no longer needs to wear any bracing; the hips are both doing good.
