Study of current treatments for Perthes hip disease
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study follows children (and teens) with Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease to learn about how today’s treatments work in real life. It may help doctors choose the best next steps for your child’s hip health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has been diagnosed with Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease
- Your child is between 1 and 18 years old
- If your child is over 11, they can still qualify if they have hip bone damage (osteonecrosis) from an injury or steroid medicine
- Your child must not have had surgery on the affected hip before
- (If unsure) Tell the study team about any past hip procedures, so they can confirm eligibility

This trial compares robot-assisted total hip replacement to the usual surgery for people with Legg-Calve-Perthes disease. It aims to see if the robotic arm helps the surgery go more smoothly.
This trial tests a new implant called ReNew Hip Implant to repair damaged cartilage in the hip joint. It may be an option if you have hip pain that hasn't improved with other treatments like physical therapy or injections.
This study gathers information on children with leg bone or muscle problems (from birth or later) to better understand their conditions. It may help improve future care for kids with similar issues.
This study keeps track of children diagnosed with slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) over time. It helps doctors better understand how SCFE progresses and how different treatments affect outcomes.
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.
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).
