Developmental dysplasia of the hip

This study looked at whether using a soft hip brace (abduction splint) for two months in one-month-old babies with mild hip dysplasia (stable hips but abnormal ultrasound) improves hip development. 90 infants were enrolled. The goal was to see if the brace makes hip ultrasound me…

This study followed 77 people who had a procedure called Subchondroplasty for hip bone defects. Doctors injected a calcium phosphate bone filler into the damaged area. The goal was to see if it improved pain, movement, and daily activities over two years. Results were measured us…

This study looked at how reliable ultrasound measurements are for diagnosing hip dysplasia in children. Researchers measured the same children twice to see if different doctors get the same results. The goal is to find out which measurement method works best and improve diagnosis…

This study tested whether a special sitting position that centers the hip joint can prevent hip dislocation in children with severe cerebral palsy. Seventeen children aged 1-6 years participated, using either the experimental or usual sitting method for at least 5 hours daily ove…

This study tested whether hip surgery (PAO) followed by exercise is better than exercise alone for reducing pain in adults with hip dysplasia. 69 people aged 18-45 took part. The main goal was to see which approach improved hip pain and function more after 12 months.

This study looked at 60 children having hip surgery to see if giving the anti-inflammatory drug dexamethasone through a vein or near the nerves works better for pain relief. The goal was to reduce pain, inflammation, and the need for extra pain medicine. Results could help doctor…

This study uses ultrasound to measure the hips of healthy newborns between 32 and 46 weeks gestational age. The goal is to create a growth chart showing normal hip measurements, which could help doctors better diagnose developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in infants. Research…

This study looked at 60 children aged 1 to 4 years who had surgery for developmental dysplasia of the hip. Doctors compared two ways of cutting the hip capsule: a U-shaped cut and a T-shaped cut. The goal was to see which method was faster and needed fewer stitches. The results m…

This study looked at 110 adults with different hip problems, such as arthritis or labral tears, to understand how these conditions affect posture, muscle strength, balance, pain, and quality of life. Researchers used special 3D imaging and pain tests to measure these factors. The…

This study looked at 40 people who had a total hip replacement through a small incision in the front of the hip. Researchers compared two types of metal stems (AMIStem and Quadra) to see how bone density around the implant changed one year after surgery. The goal was to find out …
