Hip conditions in children are much different than hip conditions in adults. A child’s hip condition that is left untreated could lead to larger problems in later life.
Our orthopaedic specialists are trained in recognizing and treating pediatric hip conditions, including:
- Apophysitis (pelvic apophyseal injuries)
- Apophyseal avulsion fracture
- Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH)
- Femoracetabular impingement (FAI)
- Femoral neck stress fracture
- Groin muscle (adductor) strain
- Hip fractures
- Hip pain
- Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease
- Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE)
- Snapping hip (Iliopsoas tenosynovitis)
- Sports hernia (athletic pubalgia)
