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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ligamentum teres tenodesis (surgical procedure)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this procedure could offer a new surgical option to improve hip function and stability in children with developmental hip dysplasia who have not responded to other treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 50 participants and has not yet started recruiting. The procedure is surgical and carries standard risks like infection or failure, and results may not apply to all patients.

Who is studied
Operation was done under general anesthesia and patient in supine position. Sterilization was done. Incision was made from anterior half of iliac crest to ASIS (the anterior or anterolateral Smith-Petersen approach with a modified "bikini" incision) .Superficial dissection was done by identify gap between sartorius and tensor fasciae latae, dissect through subcutaneous fat (avoid lateral femoral cutaneous n.), incise fascia on medial side of tensor fascia latae and detach origin of tensor fasciae latae of iliac to develop internervous plane. Deep dissection was done by identify plane between rectus femoris and gluteus medius and detaches rectus femoris from both its origins.
