Hip issue in just turned 7 year old

[Enb76]

My daughter is just 7 but tall - (over 95th%), she does ballet and swimming and both have noticed that she has issues with hip stability on one side. This makes her drag her left side and also causes issues with balance. The ballet teacher said she has no natural bend but I don't really know what that means (she has good feet though!!). She was a breech baby and so had all the hip dysplasia stuff and never presented any problems so I'm not sure it could be that. I've booked a doctor's appointment but wondered if anyone out there might be able to suggest other causes - my google-fu only seems to throw up dysplasia.

sorry you are not getting any responses. Not sure if my ds's hypermobile hip joints are the same as dysplasia. but if they are, we didn't realise he had this in earlier years but it def got worse as he grew older.

Hi OP, my DD2 was a breech baby - and very big - and has some hip issues. We have hip dysplasia in the family so I had her scanned as a small baby (abroad, where it would have been standard with our history). Her hips were fine then.
After she started walking it was apparent that the angle of the thigh bone and hip joint was wrong. Her feet turn in, she frequently stumbles. We had her scanned by an orthopedic specialist, privately. There is still time for her to grow out of it - she's almost 7. The alternative is a gruesome operation with weeks in a cast afterwards.

If you haven't already done so, a referal to a specialist is what I would get and take it from there.
If your DD has never been scanned, that's what I would push for now. Good luck.
