info on human hip dysplasia in babies?

this is usually easily corrected by wearring an elastic sling that is wrapped around the ankles and the belly and i think over the shoulders to keep the legs splayed open to re align the hips. you mind it more than they do it is not painful. the cause is the hip joints don't develope properly and the ball of the top of the leg pops out. with this device the hip joint and the ball form properly and stay in place. it is more common in boys than girls.

Dr. is just checking to make sure that there isn't a problem, you and baby are probably fine.  There is still time to turn from breech, they often don't settle head down for another month or so. \n\nMy littlest was in the 95th percentile too- for his head size!  (ow)  He was 8lbs 15oz.  \n\nYou will get more info from the high risk perinatologist.  It's just a precaution.  5% of babies are bigger than yours, which is still thousands of kids.  You also may be further along than they think.\n\nAll the best!

Pretty much anything that you are concern about your child doing or not doing.  If it is not a medical question, they should be able to point you in the correct direction to get an expert answer.  \n\nIf your child has had issues in the past or has a chronic ondition, you should definitely ask about any updates and be sure to share anything that you have noticed regarding the condition.

It not possible, a man does not have a uterus or hormones that are nessisary for pregnancy. Male hip-bones are also too narrow which would be harmfull to the child.

The ligamentum teres of the hip: An arthroscopic classification of its pathology \n\nAlistair J. R. Gray F.R.C.S. (Edin) Orth.a and Richard N. Villar B.Sc. (Hons), M.S., F.R.C.S., b,  \n\na Department of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, The Western Infirmary, Glasgow, Scotland\nb Department of Orthopedic and Trauma Surgery, Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, England \n\nAbstract\nPathology of the ligamentum teres is rarely diagnosed. We describe the classification of the lesions seen at hip arthroscopy based on a group of 20 patients. Three groups are noted: complete rupture, partial rupture, and the degenerate ligamentum. The complete ligamentum teres rupture group had a history of either major trauma or surgery and had a high incidence of other hip pathology such as labral tears and articular damage. The partial ligamentum rupture group presented with a long history of ill-defined hip pain. Minor associated hip abnormalities were seen at arthroscopy. Degenerate ligamentum teres rupture presented with symptoms of the underlying osteoarthritis. Debridement or washout was performed but, at 2 years, patients had severe persistent symptoms or had had a joint replacement. \n\nAuthor Keywords: Hip arthroscopy; Ligamentum teres; Classification

Even if your son waits 15 years, he will still be considered "young" for a hip replacement and will likely face at least one revision in his lifetime, and maybe more.  Ceramic is relatively new so you will not find many people in the US who have had one for a long time, say over 20-30 yrs.  It wasn't in general use that long ago.  The concern of polyethylene is the wear issue:\nhttp://totaljoints.info/polyethylene_for_total_hips.htm  \n\nThis discusses bearing surfaces in THR:\nhttp://totaljoints.info/bearing_surfaces.htm\n\nYoung males are particularly hard on their prostheses because they tend to be more active and beat up their hips.  Older people are less active and are more likely to have their hips outlive them.  \n\nThe most durable bearings would be either ceramic/ceramic or metal/metal.  There are still some worries about metal/metal and the issue of metal ions in the body.  See this on m/m\nhttp://totaljoints.info/metal_on_metal_total_hips.htm\nand this, on ceramic:\nhttp://totaljoints.info/ceramic_total_hips.htm\nand this, on metal/poly:\nhttp://totaljoints.info/conven_thr.htm\n\nAnother option that has just become a reality in the US with the FDA approval of the Birmingham hip is resurfacing.  Not every patient is eligible for this procedure and since it is fairly new in the US, you would have to locate a surgeon who does the procedure.  It does have its detractors but its proponents claim that it gives the young patient a chance to postpone the total hip replacement and also permits them to engage in more vigorous activity and permits almost normal flexibility and ROM.  It has been done in Europe for many years and many Americans traveled to get their hip resurfaced.  I recommend these two links on the subject:\nhttp://totaljoints.info/NICE_details.htm\nhttp://totaljoints.info/surface_hip_replace.htm  \n\nThere are alternatives to THR.  These include fusion (which would allow the THR to be postponed although it does have its drawbacks) and are discussed here:\nhttp://totaljoints.info/TH_alternative_operations.htm\n\nAs for me, I have had both of my hips replaced at age 58.  They are 4 & 5 years old.  The bearing surfaces are metal/poly.

General Information\nThe hip is the largest joint in the body and one of its most stable. Due to this stability, the hip is rarely a source of problems while growing up (except for developmental problems such as DDH). Problems during the growing years occur following major injuries such as car accidents or falls from heights. In later years, the hip is one of the primary locations for arthritis, which often results in total hip replacement. \n\nThe hip is a ball and socket joint similar to the shoulder. The femoral head forms a ball that sits deep within the socket know as the acetabulum. The acetabulum is a part of the pelvis and in normal circumstances covers more than one-half of the femoral head. The joint is stabilized not only by the bony architecture but also by a series of stout ligaments, the muscles that cross the joint, and a labrum that is connected to the rim of the acetabulum. \n\nAside from arthritis, hip problems occur as a result of muscle strains, hip bursitis, and tears of the labrum. Muscle strains (groin pulls) are often debilitating and require lengthy rehab time only to recur regularly. Hip bursitis is the inflammation within a bursa on the outside or lateral aspect of the hip. This is often associated with patellofemoral problems (kneecap), and both are caused by a tight iliotibial band (ITB). Stretching and rest usually are sufficient to resolve the discomfort. \n\nLabral tears are increasingly being diagnosed. Physical exam techniques and the improvement in MRI techniques have helped to diagnose this problem. Once diagnosed, if it is symptomatic enough, surgical repair or excision through an arthroscopic procedure is often necessary.\n\nOrthopaedic Injuries\n\nLabral Tear\nThe labrum of the hip is the fibrous cartilage (similar to the meniscus in the knee) that runs around the bony rim of the acetablum (the hip socket). The labrum deepens the socket adding stability to the hip joint as well as cushioning the joint itself. \n\nCauses\nThe cause of a labral tear may be degenerative or traumatic. Degenerative tears occur after years of repetitive minor injuries and are usually associated with arthritis of the hip. Traumatic injuries can occur with any sporting activity that causes rapid hip motion especially associated with sudden stops and turns on the field, mats, or court. Occasionally, a traumatic injury that causes a labral tear is somewhat trivial and is forgotten by the time of the diagnosis. \n\nSymptoms\n\nPain (usually located on the inner hip, or groin area) \nA “catching” sensation within the joint \nLittle-to-no-pain during normal daily activities \nFrequently Asked Questions\nHip Arthroscopy and Labral Tear\n\nTreatment\nThe treatment of a hip labral tear is symptom driven. Long term sequelae of labral tears is not known though it is assumed they can lead to arthritic progression. \n\nNon-operative\nA course of physical therapy may be initiated along with activity modification.\n\nAlternative Treatment Options\n\nGlucosamine \nHyaluronic Acid \nNon-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Medications (NSAIDs) \nOperative\nA surgical repair or excision through an arthroscopic procedure is the usual intervention for this orthopaedic injury when symptoms do not allow a continuation of desired athletic activities. The procedure is done on an out-patient basis and full recovery normally occurs by eight to 12 weeks.\n\nWhen I researched labral tears causing osteoarthritis, it sounds more like osteoarthritis can cause labral tears.  See the second link....actually the third link might support your position.....

Achondroplasia is a genetic disorder of bone growth that is evident at birth. It affects about one in every 25,000 births and it occurs in all races and in both sexes. Its depiction in ancient Egyptian art makes it one of the oldest recorded birth defects.\nThe vast majority of individuals with achondroplasia have normal intelligence and lead healthy, independent, and productive lives (Rogers et al, 1979). Rarely, intelligence may be affected secondary to hydrocephalus or other CNS complications. \n\nMean adult height is approximately 131 cm + 5.6 for males and 124 cm + 5.9 for females. Presence of severe disproportionate short stature can cause a number of psychosocial problems. \n\nLife span for heterozygous achondroplasia is usually normal unless there are serious complications. A mean life expectancy is approximately 10 years less than the general population (Hecht et al, 1987). \n\nHomozygous achondroplasia is a lethal condition with severe respiratory distress caused by rib-cage deformity. Radiographic changes are much more severe than the heterozygous achondroplasia. The patients die soon after birth.

You might be refering to Gaucher disease. It is an inherited, enzyme deficiency, disorder. Symptoms range from mild to severe and can appear at any time, from infancy to old age.\n\nThese Gaucher symptons may include anaemia, fatigue, easy bruising and a tendency to bleed. An enlarged spleen and liver may also occur in Gaucher disease as well as bone pain, degeneration and fractures. That is probably why the parent is going to have a hip surgery.
