N.M.
This needs to be seen by a pediatric orthopedic doctor. If it is left untreated, the hip ball can become deformed and cause bad problems like dislocations or wear away the joint. I worked for one MD years ago before finishing school, and am now a PT. A good doc in the Joliet/Palos area is Mark Moran, MD. He is with Parkview Orthopedics. I don't know the number offhand, but they are in the phone book. At the time I was working for the ped ortho, we used a special brace, but as I'm no longer working with kids, so I'm not up on what they are doing now. Definately go in now though. If treated at this time it is easily corrected and is no longer an issue then as they grow.
