Screening for hip dysplasia in infants can make a big difference in their outcomes. Still, we know there are kids that fall through the cracks and later present with pain. Early detection of this condition is critical from a developmental standpoint, and proper therapy can guide those patients towards a pain free and active life.

To help us uncover all we need to know about hip dysplasia, we are joined by Erika Valentine, MD. She is a pediatric orthopedist at Children's Colorado and is an Assistant Professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.

Some highlights from this episode include:

• Signs to look out for in the first few years of life
• Why and how long-term issues can occur
• Understanding treatment options
• How primary care providers can support and manage their patients with hip dysplasia
