Summary
This study looks at whether babies with mild hip dysplasia (Graf type 2b or 2c) need to wear a Pavlik harness or if their hips can get better on their own with just monitoring. About 70 babies will be split into two groups: one gets the usual harness treatment, the other is watched closely with regular ultrasounds. If a baby's hip doesn't improve on its own, they will then get the harness. The goal is to see if the harness is really necessary for these mild cases, which could reduce stress for parents and make daily care easier.
