Rumor: Brad Pitt and Angelina Considering Hip Surgery for Zahara

This week's issue of the Star magazine is reporting that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are considering whether daughter Zahara will have corrective surgery on her hip. The toddler reportedly suffers from hip dyplasia.

With hip dysplasia, the thigh is connected to the hip improperly and if not corrected could affect her ability to walk as she grows.

A source tells the Star that the couple "will do whatever it takes" to ensure their child is "happy and healthy."

The insider adds, "Brad and Angelina have talked with their pediatrician, who told them Zahara may need to have surgery."

The couple adopted Zahara from Ethiopia in 2005. At the time of her adoption, Zahara was suffering from malnutrition and dehydration. She has also had a rickets fracture in her arm and suffered from salmonella poisoning.
