Tiny screw aims to fix hip problems in kids with cerebral palsy
NCT ID NCT06983353
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This pilot study will test a small screw placed in the hip bone to help correct a wide hip angle (coxa valga) in 50 children with cerebral palsy who have early hip subluxation. The goal is to see if the screw can guide bone growth and improve hip alignment, potentially preventing more serious dislocation. Children aged 3 to 12 with specific hip angles and mild subluxation are eligible.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
transphyseal screw (a small screw placed in the hip bone to guide growth)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simpler surgical way to improve hip alignment and reduce dislocation risk in children with cerebral palsy.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with no comparison group, so results may not be conclusive. Surgery always carries risks like infection or screw problems.
