Common conditions
At Children’s Hospital Colorado, our pediatric orthopedic experts treat all types of hip conditions. Our hip specialists are dedicated to treating hip problems in children and young adults and have the expertise to provide patients with surgical and nonsurgical treatment.
Developmental dysplasia of the hip
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) refers to a problem with the shape of the hip that leads to instability of the joint. At Children’s Colorado, our comprehensive Hip Program treats patients with hip dysplasia from birth through early adulthood. Experts at our Hip Program will determine your child’s course of treatment based on his or her age and severity of DDH.
Femoroacetabular impingement
Femoroacetabular impingement (also known as FAI and hip impingement) occurs when the bones of the hip are abnormally shaped. Because the hip bones don’t fit together perfectly, they rub against each other and cause damage to the joint. To treat FAI, specialists from our Hip Program work closely with the Physical Therapy, Sports Medicine, Orthopedic Surgery, Anesthesiology and Radiology departments, among others, to provide access to a full spectrum of care.
