Study of leg problems in children
Treatments studied
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be under 18 when first seen by an orthopedic doctor for this condition.

- The leg problem must cause noticeable trouble with walking or daily activities (not just a minor variation).

- You cannot join if you or your family decide not to participate.

This trial tests a new computer-assisted planning method to help surgeons better correct bone deformities in the arms or legs. It may lead to more precise surgeries and faster recovery.
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.
This study looks at how a difference in leg length affects balance and movement in children aged 10 to 15. It uses a special low-dose X-ray (EOS) to take pictures of the child's spine and legs while they stand still.
This study looks back at records of children, age 12 or younger, who had surgery to lengthen a leg bone using the Precice nail or an external fixator. The goal is to understand how well these treatments work for kids with a leg length difference of at least 2 cm.
