DS was diagnosed by paediatrician on discharge with dislocation in one hip and subluxation in the other. He is now 4wo and we have an ultrasound tomorrow and consultant appt in 2 weeks. Paediatrician prepared us for the likelihood of him having to use a Pavlik harness.
What can I expect at ultrasound tomorrow? Will they just take images and wait for consultant appt to discuss, or are they likely to discuss it, explain what they see, give me an indication of whether a harness is likely?
Not had this with my older 2 DC and don't know anyone who has had this so no idea what to expect, so any experiences you have would be great! Also DH can't come tomorrow so I'm on my own and need thoughts on things to ask.
Thanks!
