NCT ID NCT07066852
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study checks if adding X-rays to standard ultrasound screening helps find hip dysplasia earlier in babies with risk factors like being first-born, female, or breech. Researchers will follow 300 infants born in a Turkish hospital, scanning them at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year. The goal is to see if extra screening prevents missed cases and later hip pain or arthritis.
