1. "An abnormal placement of the hip bone can be stabilized within one month."
2. "A removable brace should be used immediately to keep the child's hips abducted and flexed."
3. "A non-invasive surgery should be performed immediately to reposition the child's hip."
4. "A specially molded plaster cast will be placed around the child's hip for six months."
