New surgical trick for hip dysplasia: using the Body's own ligament
NCT ID NCT07356921
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a surgical procedure that uses the ligamentum teres, a natural ligament in the hip, to help stabilize the joint in children with developmental hip dysplasia (DDH). The surgery involves creating a tunnel in the bone and threading the ligament through it to improve hip function. The trial will include 50 children who have not improved with other treatments, and researchers will measure outcomes using the modified Harris Hip Score.
