3 types of hip dysplasia and how to identify them

[@SomersetScytheSchool]

Great video. I was diagnosed with bilateral hip dysplasia at the age of 14 as I developed a marked limp (later ascribed to a labral tear) but I was never given any of this information nor was I given any advice in how to manage the condition. I am now 55 and am facing a bilateral total hip replacement this year. My X-rays have always been described as showing “minimal changes” and a number of PTs have said I have an excellent range of motion but a recent MRI showed severe OA with significant acetabular sub-chondral cysts in both hips. I wish your channel had existed 40 years ago!

Thanks Tom. I'm starting to understand why all these endless stretches are just increasing my discomfort. I've told each of my 4 chiros that I can feel my left leg instability with my hand as I take each step, but each one has just added more stretches. Your explanation makes a lot of sense, so I'm going to try basic core strengthening - cheaper and a lot more hopeful. Isn't KZbin wonderful!

Thanks for your work. I am 38 and have just been diagnosed with HD on both sides. LCEA ~20° This happened after I saw 2 orthopedic doctors and different PTs before and came out, after I literally "harassed" the last doctor to make an x-ray. He looked at the CE angle but misdiagnosed and said everything is fine. I sent the same X-ray material to two different hip experts and they finally diagnosed an HD. Pain in the butt, pain in the back, pain in the hamstring... that was a journey
