Summary

This study looks at the long-term results of a surgery that replaces the missing growth plate at the top of the thigh bone in children who lost it due to a severe hip infection. Researchers will check how well the bone heals and how well the hip works at least five years after the operation. The goal is to see if this complex surgery can help restore hip function and growth in these young patients.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
surgical procedure: epiphyseal transfer
What this could lead to
If successful, this surgical technique could provide a way to restore hip function and growth in children who lost the hip growth plate due to severe infection.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage study with only 20 participants and no comparison group. The surgery is complex and may not work for everyone; risks include infection or poor bone healing.
