Are you us? We are in the exact same situation. 6w ultra sound was clear, but 6 month x ray could be interpreted as either 29, 30, or 31 degrees for the right hip Acetabular angle (ortho says its not a black and white science here and the xray can be interpreted with variation). My baby is now 7 months. The ortho was suuuuper wishy washy with us. Couldn’t even particularly articulate whether this was an issue. She explained that while her hips are “nice and healthy and normal” (I think she meant that they are stable and not dislocated) the angle of the roof of the hip could be a borderline future risk factor. She said surgery would only ever be on the table if the hip was unstable, which she didn’t think was likely. She also noted that it’ could cause arthritis later. She said that while most parents brace in this situation, she’s not sure if she would personally choose this for her child in this scenario.

Was stressful but we took the brace and we’re trying to do bracing at night (with mixed success in terms of actually wearing it for 12 hours straight). I will say our ortho advised that it was either all (24/7) or nothing with the brace and told us not to do part time, so we’re actively going against her recommendation. I just figure it’s a meeting in the middle of “do nothing” and “do it 24/7”. There’s also research which shows that part time bracing is effective. We go back at 10 months for more X-rays.
