Compare three surgeries for late hip dislocation in non-walking children with CP
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial looks at which surgery works best for children with cerebral palsy who do not walk and have a neglected, deformed hip that has dislocated for a long time. The goal is to compare outcomes after three different hip procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has cerebral palsy (CP) and cannot walk (GMFCS level IV or V)
- Your child’s hip problem is a neglected, deformed, dislocated hip (not a normal-shaped femoral head)
- No previous bone surgery on the hip has been done
- The hip dislocation is from CP (not from another muscle/nerve condition)
- Your child is not able to walk (not ambulatory)

This study follows children with cerebral palsy who cannot walk (severe type) and have hip displacement, to see how hip treatment affects long-term outcomes. You may be asked your child’s caregivers to complete a questionnaire so researchers can compare results over time.
This trial tests a surgery to help guide the growth of the hip bone in children with cerebral palsy whose hips are at risk of slipping out of place. The goal is to prevent hip dislocation and avoid more complex surgery later.
This trial tests a surgery to guide the growth of the upper thigh bone (femur) to keep the hip joint from sliding out of place in children with spastic cerebral palsy. It aims to prevent further hip migration and avoid more serious hip problems later.
This study tests a surgical technique called 'guided growth' to correct a hip that is starting to slip out of place in children with cerebral palsy. The goal is to prevent the hip from dislocating and avoid more complex surgery later.
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 trial tests whether a special hip brace plus exercise helps improve walking, balance, and reduce muscle tightness in children with cerebral palsy. It's designed for children who can walk a bit but may have trouble with hip stiffness.
