• What are some treatment options for son's hip dysplasia?

My 6 year old son has hip dysplasia. Is surgery the only treatment option, or are there other options we can take to help make his condition better, such as physical therapy?

Usually at this age surgery is the main option. Right after birth bracing could have been done to put pressure on the hip socket and some will correct. But at his age, the socket is already malformed and will only get worse as he gets older without surgical correction
