Our user asked: "Can you offer information on therapies and treatment especially as an adult with this condition."

Ask a PT Response: "This condition in adults may be related to avascular necrosis or osteonecrosis of the hip which may require surgical intervention. PT may help as well with emphasis on strengthening, ROM, stretching, postural training, functional training, etc. If you are having issues, it may be a good idea to see a PT so that he and she can determine a plan of care tailored to your specfic findings."
