Bilateral cogential dislocation of hips
Actually I have a problem of bilateral cogential dislocation of hips as you can see in the x ray , still I have no pain and any problems in daily life activities. A few months ago I consulted a doctor he said that it will be cured by THR but if there is no problem in my daily life and there is no pain then I would be better to avoid the surgery . It's ok but my question is :- is there any problems if I do THR in this case . I can wait till 26 age but If there will be no pain at that age and I do THR then is there any problem❓ please tell me what is the best step to do❓

Talk to experienced orthopedist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
If you have no pain and no difficulty in daily activities then surgery can usually be delayed.
Doing THR later at 26 years is generally not a problem if you remain comfortable and joint condition is monitored regularly. Surgery is usually done when pain, limp, stiffness or functional limitation increases.
At present, regular follow-up and observation are reasonable.
