Asymmetry of hip lines means that after turning the child over, it is found that the lines on the child\’s thighs are of different heights, with one side being higher and the other lower. Or the child may have three leg marks on one leg and only one or two on the other leg. Under normal circumstances, the lines from the baby\’s butt to the thigh appear symmetrically. When the hip lines are asymmetrical, it is one of the signs of hip dislocation. However, it is only a preliminary screening test and may occur in many normal children. Asymmetric hip lines is only one of the clinical manifestations of hip dysplasia, but it is not an absolute indicator. When asymmetry of hip lines occurs, parents need to be vigilant, go to the hospital in time to confirm the diagnosis through X-ray or B-ultrasound examination, and intervene early in treatment to avoid delaying the best treatment time.
