Hip click no more...

His right femoral head is seated within the acetabulum. However, coverage is 42% on the right. The alpha angle of the right is 55 degrees, the left is 63 degrees and coverage is 50%. There is however no evidence on either of frank subluxation or dislocation at rest or with stress maneuvers.

Now they are watching the angle of his hip socket. It has gotten greater on both side from the original ultrasound yet his right hip socket shows a 55 degrees (48 a month ago) and his left is 63 (60 a month ago). "Normal" is considered 60 degrees and greater.

We go back after the first of the year for another check up, hopefully the doctor's Beammer will be paid off and we can get the final release.
