Hip dysplasia

This study compares two surgical approaches for hip dysplasia: the standard periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) alone versus PAO combined with hip arthroscopy. Researchers will enroll 106 people aged 15-55 with mild or no arthritis. The goal is to see if adding arthroscopy leads to be…

This study looks at whether simply monitoring babies with mild hip dysplasia is as good as using a brace. The brace, called a Pavlik harness, keeps the hips in proper position but can be hard on families. The trial will follow 514 infants under 3 months old across seven countries…

Researchers are testing whether a nerve block called a PENG block reduces pain after periacetabular osteotomy, a major hip realignment surgery. In the study, 90 adults scheduled for this surgery receive either ropivacaine, a local anesthetic, or a saline placebo injected around s…

This study tests whether a program of exercise and patient education can reduce hip and groin pain in people with hip dysplasia, compared to usual care. About 200 adults with confirmed hip dysplasia and at least three months of pain will take part. The main goal is to measure pai…

This study looks at whether injecting numbing medicine around the surgical cut can lower pain and the need for strong painkillers after a hip-preserving surgery called periacetabular osteotomy (PAO). About 120 people aged 13 to 50 with hip dysplasia will be split into three group…

This study is testing whether adding hip arthroscopy to a standard hip realignment surgery (PAO) improves outcomes for people with hip dysplasia. About 204 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either PAO alone or PAO plus arthroscopy. Researchers will measure quality…

This study follows 4,000 children who receive orthopedic implants (like rods or screws) during standard care for bone fractures, deformities, or hip problems. Researchers will track how long the implants last, any complications, and how well they work over time. The goal is to ga…
