Donna, Has this baby been seen by a Chiropractor? My son was diagnosed with a Brachial Plexus Palsy. The Orthopaed gave me no hope that he would have any increased use of his arm beyond what he had regained by 2 yrs of age. When I took him to the Chiropractor he regained much use within 1 adjustment and the Chiropractor discovered that my son's shoulder blade had been dislocated since birth. His prognosis is for 90% recovery of the use of the arm. I'm not saying that this baby doesn't have hip displaysia, but it would be worth a 2nd opinion from a Chiropractor would be better than surgery.
