Long term side effects of Pavlik Harness

5 replies

My daughter is now 10 but had a pavlik harness for hip dysplasia from 5 weeks old to 15 weeks old. Didn't walk until she was 2, has tiny feet and toes so doesnt have great balance, knees don't bend very much, she can't run and her legs tire easily when she walks. Been seen by every consultant possible, including genetics, since she was 2 and no one can find anything wrong. Just wondered if anyone else's child may have had similar symptoms if they'd had the pavlik harness as a baby. Clutching at straws now as apparently there is no medical reason as to why she has reduced mobility! 😭

Did you go through full genome sequencing?

My ds, now 25, wore one and had no subsequent problems.

Sorry to hear what you're going through, I hope you get answers soon.

My nephew had one too. No long lasting problems.

Had no idea what that was, thank goodness for google! I'm going to say probably not but thanks.......I will ask the next time we are at the hospital. 😊

I suspected it probably didn't have long term effects and was clutching at straws 😔 thank you for replying x
