Causes And Ways To Deal With Hips Not Developing In Toddlers?
Evening .. I want to ask, my sibling’s age is 4 years old with weight 14 kg .. I noticed that my toddler’s hips are not changing (not getting bigger) .. I am worried whether my siblings can not grow properly? Then the cause is because of what yes? Was it because in the past, the bayu was too long and was often swaddled or because of other things? And how is the therapy done? R nthank you ..

Hello, thank you for the question for HealthReplies.com
The measurement of the size of the hips is actually not included in routine examinations for children because the size of the hips is not used as an indicator of growth or development in children. The most common hip disorder in children is hip dysplasia (DDH-developmental dysplasia of the hip). In DDH there are several symptoms such as:
unequal leg length
asymmetrical shape of the leg
there is a difference in footwork
changes in the curvature of the spine
Children who are able to walk may show symptoms of a limp walking
If indeed you notice a hip deformity in your sibling or you notice the symptoms as mentioned above, you should advise the parents to bring their child to the Pediatrician so that they can be examined directly.
If you do not have any symptoms in your sibling, it is likely that the small hips are due to the child's small bones (due to genetic influences), or because the child is thin (14 kilograms for a 4 year old child is under the 50th percentile on the growth curve. ). You can advise the parents to regularly control to monitor the child's height and weight to find out more about their child's growth and development.
So much information from me, hopefully it will be enough to answer
