We have just attended a fracture clinic appointment as my dd2 was suspected of having a clicky left hip. She was born in water at home but was diagnosed the day later. I feel so sad as I genuinely expected it to be nothing. I am not a worrier! She is going to have to wear a Pavlik Splint for 6 to 12 weeks and I'm not sure how this will impact on her little life. If anyone has had any similar experiences, please could you let me know what happened? I am worried about lasting effects. My sister in law was born with a disclocated hip which I think was not discovered until she was about 5 (she's 47 now) and she walks with a really pronounced limp.Any tips and advice would be really appreciated.
