I will start by telling our story. My 14 months old daughter has hip dysplasia or dislocated hip or CDH or DDH. We found out at a couple months ago. When she first started walking her foot turned out which made us notice her left leg was shorter than her right. I took her to her pediatrician who took x-rays to confirm it was DDH. We were referred to a pediatric orthopedic who schedule an open reduction surgery on Dec. 5th. He said there is a posibility they will have to cut her pelvic and femur bone also (osteotomy). Then she will be put in a spica (body) cast for 4 months. As most parents of babies with this I am doing my research on it. I have joined a couple hip-baby groups online which has helped tremendously. I was just wondering if maybe someone on here has dealt with it or know of someone who has or is.

Oh she is. We are all doing all right. It's just hard watching her walk and run and know that in less than a month she will wake up and won't be able to do that.

I bet, my dd has a little girl in her class who had casts on both feet for quite a while, she just got them off a few days ago and she's been so weak since, it's nice to see her out of the wheel chair though

I am so sorry I am no help either. I will pray that your daughter is able to handle the surgery well and in just a few short months will be walking and jumping again!

Update.....Kenna's surgery was postponed from Dec. 5th to Feb 27th due to her being sick. I got a call today from her orthopedic office saying they moved her surgery date to Jan. 17th.
