Treatment
Treatment of CDH can be divided into three strategies according to the chronology of presentation:
- in the newborn
- in those age 6 months to 6 years
- in those more than 6 years old
The aim of treatment is to reduce the hip and to keep it reduced. Normal development should then occur, providing an early diagnosis has been made.
