DDH

[RosieGrieves]

Hi,
My niece is 16mths old and has only just been diagnosed with DDH. Is there anyone out there who has experienced this with a child of a similar age who can give us some info and tips?
Thanks

you mean Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) if so look here www.healthsystem.virginia.edu/uvahealth/peds_hrnewborn/ddh.cfm

my dd as this but her is not to bad so just waiting to see if hers gets better on its own, where some have to wear casts

Yes that's what she's got. She's going to need an op and will be in a cast for 3mths. Was just looking for someone who'd been thru it with an older child as it seems that most kids have it diagnosed and therefore treated when they are much younger

yes try steps forum theres loads on there at that been and still going through it my dd is 22 months and may still have the opp if theres no change soon
