Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) can be a concerning diagnosis for new parents. Fortunately, many cases of DDH in infants can be successfully treated with a Pavlik harness. This non-invasive device gently guides the hip joint into the correct position, allowing for natural healing and development.
The Pavlik harness is designed to comfortably secure your baby's legs in a specific posture that promotes healthy hip alignment. It works by:
This gentle yet effective positioning encourages the hip socket to develop properly and the femoral head to sit securely within it. While wearing the harness, regular check-ups with your pediatrician or orthopedist are crucial to monitor progress and ensure the correct fit.
Early diagnosis and treatment with a Pavlik harness significantly increase the chances of a full recovery, minimizing the need for more invasive procedures like surgery. If you suspect your infant may have DDH, consult your healthcare provider immediately.
