Scoliosis Posted: 08-10-04 07:55am
My daughter was born with hip dysplasia of
both hip. She's now 7 and everything is
fine. At her last checkup, we noticed a
curvature in her back and the orthapedic
Dr. Ordered an xray which showed a curve
in her spine. He stated that she has a
severe curve. I don't know the degree
yet. He has refered us to a specialist
saying that along with the hip dysplasia
and the fact that she's only 7 he suspects
something neurologically causing the
scoliosis. My question- is there any
relation between the hip dysplasia and
scoliosis. The Dr. Said her leg lenth
is fine.
Otherwise my daughter is healthy. She
doesn't complain of any pain. She is
active in softball, gymnastics, swimming
and basketball.
