Hello. I posted a while back regarding a little girl that we are
adopting from CHina. She has been diagnosed with congenital
dislocation of the hip. The orphanage says they noticed a limp when she
first started walking at 24 months. (Aggravation from me since they
didn't notice sooner!...) I received her xrays last week. Her pelvis
shows no socket and the ball at the top of her femur is 1/2 the size
it should be. Does anyone know if they will need to create an
artificial socket? Or a bone graft? Does that mean she'll have
surgeries all her life?
Thank you so much for the help!
