A mother often asks if there is something wrong with the baby's asymmetrical leg lines?
The leg lines are asymmetrical, and the baby may have the problem of dysplasia of the hip joint.
However, some normal babies also have asymmetric leg lines, so it is suggestive, but not absolute, to use asymmetric leg lines to infer hip dysplasia.
If the baby is worried about hip dysplasia, the mother can first check herself at home for the baby:
For babies within 3 months, gently curl up the baby's legs, open them to the outside, and draw an arc around the thigh root. As shown in the figure below.
If you feel that the bones are bouncing and accompanied by a dull "click", the baby's hip joint is more likely to have problems.
For babies over 3 months old, if the angle between the legs is less than 45 degrees after the legs are curled up and opened outward, the baby's hip joint may have problems.
Once the baby has the above situation, the mother should take the baby to the hospital for inspection in time.
