Hip dysplasia

Can someone with hip dysplasia still run?

Author: Dr. Jiwu Chen

Doctor’s answer

This needs individual assessment. Mild, asymptomatic cases may continue controlled running with medical guidance and hip strengthening. Recurrent groin pain, limping, or imaging showing substantial undercoverage should lead to avoiding high-impact load and assessing joint-preserving options.
