Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) is a condition in which a newborn's hip joint does not develop properly, causing the hip to be unstable or dislocated. Early screening is essential because timely diagnosis and treatment can ensure normal hip development and prevent long-term complications. Our clinic provides comprehensive newborn hip screening using detailed clinical examination and ultrasound evaluation whenever required.

Why Early DDH Screening is Important

Most babies with DDH do not show obvious symptoms during the early weeks of life. Regular screening helps detect hip instability before it leads to walking difficulties, pain, or permanent joint damage. Early treatment is simple, highly effective, and significantly reduces the need for surgery in the future.

Our Screening & Treatment Approach

Dr. Bhushan performs a thorough physical examination of every newborn's hips and recommends ultrasound screening for babies at increased risk, such as those born in a breech position or with a family history of DDH. If detected early, treatment may include a Pavlik harness or other non-surgical methods to guide proper hip development while ensuring your baby's comfort and safety.

• Comprehensive newborn hip examination by experienced specialists.
• Ultrasound screening for high-risk infants and early diagnosis.
• Evidence-based, non-surgical treatment whenever possible.
• Regular follow-up to monitor healthy hip growth and development.

Supporting Healthy Hip Development

Dr. Bhushan's goal is to ensure every child develops strong, healthy hips through early detection, accurate diagnosis, and personalized care. We also educate parents about proper baby positioning, swaddling techniques, and follow-up care to promote healthy hip development and long-term mobility.
