Two low-strength studies do suggest potential increased effectiveness of rigid versus soft bracing; 15,16 however, potential harms include incidence of skin irritation with the rigid brace, and avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head with all forms[thischangedmypractice.com]
Do not grip firmly, this will only irritate the child and lead to muscle guarding and an unreliable examination. Stress each hip individually. Stabilize the pelvis by holding one hip and then alternate between the Barlow and Ortolani maneuvers.[clinicaladvisor.com]
DDH might prevent or delaymilestones, such as sitting and crawling. If left untreated, DDH can lead to walking abnormalities, a limb-length difference, early arthritis or hip pain.[gillettechildrens.org]
Conservative treatment with the Pavlik harness remains the most widely used treatment for DDH in infants.[clinicaladvisor.com]
The short treatment duration seems ascribable to the early treatment initiation, and delayed treatment would be expected to require a longer treatment duration.[em-consulte.com]

In individuals for whom the diagnosis is made later, the prognosis is not as positive. These children may require more extensive surgery. After surgery, however, the prognosis for normal development of the hip and leg is excellent.[healthofchildren.com]
