Early testing and treatment for a specific hip-knee problem
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial focuses on healthy newborns who were born breech to identify early signs of a knee-tilt/track problem and start treatment sooner if needed. It may help reduce how much the condition affects walking later by addressing it early.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Baby was born at more than 35 weeks gestation (term or near-term).
- Baby was in a breech position at birth.
- Baby does not have cerebral palsy.

This study tests whether adding gentle hand-on (manual) therapy to the usual Pavlik harness care helps babies with hip dysplasia heal better. It is for infants already wearing the harness, and aims to see if this extra therapy improves hip development and comfort.
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.
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).
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.
This trial tests a new software program that helps doctors read ultrasound images of babies' hips to check for hip dysplasia, a condition where the hip joint doesn't form properly. It may help make screening more accurate and easier.
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.
