Hip Dysplasia Clinic (Baby Hippy Clinic)
The Hip Dysplasia Clinic (i.e. Baby Hippy Clinic) is located at Royal Columbian Hospital.
Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) affects about 1 baby in a 100. The risk is higher in breech babies and female babies with a family history of DDH. Doctors and midwives examine hips for DDH at birth and during the first year of life. If risk factors are present, or hip examination suggests DDH might be present, babies are referred to the Hip Dysplasia Clinic for a full evaluation to see if it is present (and to start treatment if necessary). Please see this handout for more information.
