👶 Did you know? Hip dysplasia affects around 1-3% of newborns worldwide! 👶
Hip dysplasia is a condition where the hip socket doesn't fully cover the ball portion of the upper thigh bone. It's crucial to detect it early to prevent long-term issues like arthritis.
🔍 Signs to look for:
- Clicking sounds from the hips
- One leg appearing shorter than the other
- Limited range of motion in the hips
- Uneven skin folds on the thigh or buttocks
👩⚕️ Early diagnosis is key! Make sure your baby receives regular check-ups, until the age of 2.
