My grand-daughter was born with problems with his hip, dysplasia, that the doctor says is common. Is there anything in particular that made her more susceptible to it than my other grandchildren?
Developmental dysplasia of the hip, dislocation, is a fairly common disorder among babies and young children. It is a condition they are born with but it isn't always noticeable right away. According to statistics, hip dysplasia at birth occurs in about one out of every thousand children. Some of the features that doctors have found among many children with dislocated hips at birth is they are often the first born, girls, born breech, and/or they have a family history of the problem.
