Minimally invasive treatment for hip infection in children
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Infections clinical trials.
This study uses a minimally invasive procedure called arthroscopy (using a small camera and tools through tiny cuts) to treat acute septic hip infection in children. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective for cleaning the infection, which may help children recover faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child must be between 10 months and 14 years old.
- Child has an acute septic hip infection (infection inside the hip joint) on one or both sides.
- No other past or present hip problems (like hip dysplasia or prior hip surgery) in the affected hip.
- Parent or guardian must agree to the child's participation in the study.

This study looks at the long-term results (5 years or more) of a surgical procedure to repair the hip after a severe infection during childhood. It aims to see how well the hip functions and whether the growth plate transfer is successful over time.
This study checks special lab markers in joint fluid to tell septic (infected) arthritis apart from other inflammatory causes in children. It may help clinicians detect infection more accurately and quickly so kids can get the right treatment.
This study looks at how well children's hip fractures heal and how their hip function recovers after treatment. It will use imaging and physical exams to track outcomes, helping doctors understand the best ways to manage these injuries.
This study compares two antibiotic plans for acute (early) infections around an artificial knee or hip, using a procedure to clean the joint and try to keep the implant. It may help find the best approach to control infection and then prevent it from coming back with longer-term antibiotic treatment.
This study compares how to replace an infected hip or knee implant using a two-step surgery with a shorter waiting time. It aims to reduce the time between surgeries while still safely treating the infection.
This study looks at treatment options that may help people with “hip microinstability,” where the hip can feel unstable or not sit perfectly. Researchers will compare non-surgical care and a minimally invasive surgery option to see what works best and why it helps.
