Periacetabular hip surgery with MRI-guided planning
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 16 and 50 years old and need surgery for hip instability due to acetabular dysplasia
- You must have a hip MRI done before surgery (either a 3T MRI and/or an MRI arthrogram with contrast)
- You have not had any prior surgery on the side you would have the operation
- You have not had hip replacement surgery on either side
- Your X-rays should not show moderate or advanced arthritis (Tönnis grade 2 or higher)
- You must be able and willing to complete all follow-up visits and patient surveys

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.
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).
This study compares two treatments for a condition called borderline hip dysplasia, where the hip socket is slightly too shallow, causing pain. It aims to see whether arthroscopic surgery or non-surgical care (like physical therapy) works better for relieving symptoms.
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).
This study compares two ways to treat a torn labrum in the hip: one group gets standard hip arthroscopy (keyhole surgery), and the other gets the same surgery plus an injection of your own bone marrow cells to help healing. It aims to see if adding the injection improves pain and function.
This study compares hip positioning (acetabular angle) with pelvic tilt in people with femoro-acetabular impingement and in healthy volunteers. It may help researchers better understand hip mechanics and how they relate to symptoms and planning for arthroscopy surgery.
