Hip subluxation occurs when the ball of the hip joint is partially out of its position in the socket. This leads to pain, spasms, and limited hip motion and changes the growth of the thigh and hip bone. With time, hip subluxation can become dislocated when the ball is entirely out of the socket. A hip subluxation can be fixed through physical therapy and the use of splints for added support and stability.
