Recruiting studies
- NCT04117685Recruiting
Global hip dysplasia registry for young children
This trial is a worldwide registry that collects information from children with hip dysplasia or who are at higher risk. It helps researchers understand who is affected and how hip evaluations are done, which can improve future care.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 1 minute–10 years - NCT05869851Recruiting
Infant hip ultrasound study: observe vs bracing
This study looks at babies under 3 months old with certain ultrasound findings of an underdeveloped hip (“hip dysplasia”). It compares outcomes between simply watching the hip and using a brace (when recommended).
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges Up to 3 months - NCT04795843Recruiting
Exercise and education versus usual care for hip dysplasia
This trial compares a structured exercise and patient education program with standard care in people with hip dysplasia. It may help improve hip and groin pain and function, especially if you are not getting the usual surgery (periacetabular osteotomy, or PAO).
Aarhus NAges 18–50 - NCT07581717Recruiting
Hip Socket Surgery Imaging Study for Children
This study uses MRI scans before and after hip socket surgery to measure how the surgery changes the shape and size of the hip joint. It helps doctors understand which surgical technique works best for children with hip dysplasia (a condition where the hip socket doesn't fully cover the thighbone).
IstanbulAges 2–18 - NCT07023094RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two nerve blocks for kids' hip surgery
This trial tests two types of pain-relieving nerve blocks for children having hip surgery. One uses a PENG block with LFCB, the other an ESP block; the goal is to see which provides better pain control.
PoznanAges 2–16 - NCT06647225Recruiting
AI screening for hip dysplasia in babies
This trial tests whether an artificial intelligence tool can help doctors more accurately diagnose hip dysplasia in babies using ultrasound images. It might help your baby get a faster and more precise diagnosis if they are already being checked for a hip problem.
Parkville, VictoriaAges 4 weeks–5 months - NCT06775704Recruiting
Studying outcomes of the ROMAX hip resurfacing system
This study tracks how well the ROMAX hip resurfacing system works over time, focusing on patient recovery and X-ray results. It is designed for adults who need hip resurfacing and are generally healthy enough for surgery.
LilleAges 18–65 - NCT07111858Recruiting
Pavlik harness vs monitoring for hip dysplasia in babies
This trial compares using a soft brace (Pavlik harness) versus simply monitoring for babies diagnosed with a certain type of hip condition (Graf type 2b or 2c). Researchers want to see which approach leads to better hip development and avoids the need for more intensive treatment.
Royal Tunbridge WellsAges birth–4 months - NCT07066852Enrolling by invitation
Hip screening for Turkish newborns at risk
This trial checks how well a hip screening program works for Turkish babies born in a specific hospital. It aims to find developmental hip problems early so they can be treated.
Ankara, AnkaraAges Any age - NCT05361980Recruiting
Study of safety and results of a pediatric bone implant
This study looks at whether a specific pediatric bone implant is safe and works well for children who need it. By joining, you help researchers track outcomes over time and understand possible implant-related side effects.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges birth–25 years - NCT03481010Recruiting
Periacetabular hip surgery with MRI-guided planning
This study compares periacetabular osteotomy alone versus adding arthroscopy (a camera procedure inside the hip) to address cartilage/labrum problems in the hip’s center compartment. It aims to see which approach better improves symptoms and recovery for people with hip instability due to acetabular dysplasia.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 16–50 - NCT03181048Recruiting
Testing hip surgery plan during periacetabular osteotomy for hip dysplasia
This trial looks at whether doing hip arthroscopy at the same time as periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is safe and helpful for people with hip dysplasia. It may matter for improving hip joint outcomes while your surgeon corrects bone alignment.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 15–55 - NCT07863557RecruitingPhase 4
Early wear of hip replacement liners
This trial tests how well a type of hip replacement called a dual mobility cup holds up over time, focusing on early signs of wear in the plastic liner. It aims to see if this implant lasts longer and works better for people with hip arthritis or other hip conditions.
Uppsala, Uppsala CountyAges 18–75 - NCT06640764Recruiting
Study of Medacta SMS hip stem for hip replacement
This study tests a specific hip implant (the Medacta SMS stem) for people needing a total hip replacement. It aims to see how well the implant works for patients with hip pain or disability from arthritis, injury, or other hip conditions.
Saint-JeanAges 18–85 - NCT07255768Enrolling by invitation
Pain relief blocks for hip surgery: comparing two methods
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after hip surgery. One block targets the capsule around the hip joint, while the other adds blocks for nearby nerves. The goal is to find a more effective way to manage pain.
ErzurumAges 18–80 - NCT07590882Enrolling by invitation
Sports Recovery After Hip Realignment Surgery
This study follows patients who had hip socket realignment surgery (PAO) to understand how well they return to sports and physical activities. Researchers will review medical records from the past 7+ years to learn what helps patients get back to the sports they love.
BolognaAges 12–40 - NCT03107520RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Ultrasound during hip surgery to check blood flow
This early-phase study tests a special ultrasound with an added contrast medicine (Lumason) during surgery for babies with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). It aims to better see blood flow at the time of surgery, which may help guide and improve care.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 4 months–2 years - NCT06631638Recruiting
New hip replacement study using smart navigation
This study tests a hip replacement system that uses a special navigation tool to help the surgeon place the new hip cup more precisely. It may lead to better long-term results and fewer complications.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 21 years+ - NCT06189781RecruitingPhase 4
Pain shot vs epidural for hip surgery in kids with cerebral palsy
This study compares a pain injection to epidural anesthesia for children with cerebral palsy having hip surgery. The goal is to see which method provides better pain control during and after the procedure.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Up to 18 years - NCT07828080Recruiting
Hip replacement using a newer stem design
This study looks at how well a newer type of hip replacement stem (called the Actis stem) works for people having their first hip replacement. It aims to see if this stem provides good outcomes for various hip conditions.
Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 18 years+ - NCT02748408Recruiting
Long-term follow-up after total hip replacement for severe hip pain
This study tracks people for many years after they get their first total hip replacement due to severe hip problems. It helps doctors understand how well the implant works and how patients recover over time.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for hip dysplasia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 21 recruiting hip dysplasia studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a hip dysplasia trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a hip dysplasia trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
