DD has just been diagnosed as having Acetabular Dysplasia - basically her left hip joint has not developed properly and her hip has dislocated as a result.
She is being referred to Great Ormond Street Hospital, as she will need surgery to reconstruct the joint (probably more than one operation) followed by several weeks or even months in plaser from her ribs to her knees.
It's a horrible shock, and until we have seen the Orthopaedic specialist we won't know more - it should be within a week or so.
I would love to hear from other parents who have been through, or are going through, the same thing.
Thanks.
