Infant Hip Clinic

Our Infant Hip Clinic specialises in the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in babies and young children. DDH is a condition where the hip joint does not develop properly, and early detection and treatment leads to the best outcomes for your child.

Each clinic is led by an advanced paediatric orthopaedic nurse practitioner, supported by a consultant orthopaedic surgeon.

If your child is waiting for an appointment with the Infant Hip Clinic and has not heard from us within one month, please contact our admin team on 0118 322 7415
