Read a Story ... Share a Story
These are stories told by patients and parents themselves. They are organized by age group, but some stories could be in multiple places (mainly due to treatment length spanning multiple age groups). The purpose of these stories is to help others in similar circumstances and to provide education for others.
If you would like to share your story on the IHDI website like the stories we've collected here. Please contact us with the contact reason: "Submit Patient Story". In addition to your story, we highly encourage you to include any pictures or video you may feel comfortable sharing.
Additionally we would like to invite you to the IHDI Facebook page where you can become a fan and share your story interactively with others. This will instantly connect you to other patients and parents who are also going through an experience with hip dysplasia.
Thank you to all of those who have shared their experiences and helped others in their experience with Hip Dysplasia!
*Please note: we reserve the right and responsibility to edit any deleterious or derogatory comments so that these stories can be enlightening and informative in an appropriate manner.
