CT scans are more detailed than general x-rays . In DDH, the hip socket may be shallow, letting the ball of the long leg bone, also known as the femoral head, slip in and out of the socket. The ball may move partially or completely out of the hip socket. Dislocations can also affect a joint, the point where two or more bones come together. It occurs in conditions of extreme heat and excessive sweating without adequate fluid and salt replacement.
Heat exhaustion occurs when the body is unable to cool itself properly.
If left untreated, heat exhaustion can progress to heat stroke. A temporary condition in children in which the head, or ball, of the thigh bone, referred to as the femoral head, loses its blood supply. As a result, the ball of the thigh bone collapses. The body will absorb the dead tissue and replace the dead bone cells with new bone cells. The new bone cells will eventually reshape the ball of the thigh bone.
