Long-term results of growth plate transfer for hip infection
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
This study tracks people for many years after they get their first total hip replacement due to severe hip problems. It helps doctors understand how well the implant works and how patients recover over time.
This study looks at how well hip replacements last over the long term in people who had prior surgery for hip dysplasia. It aims to see how the earlier corrective surgery affects the success and survival of the later hip replacement.
This study checks what happens over the long term for people who had an infection around a replaced (prosthetic) hip. It mainly helps doctors understand recovery and long-term outcomes after 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 follows patients who have had a complex hip replacement to see how they do over time. It may help if your hip surgery was more complicated than usual, such as after prior surgeries, injuries, or certain medical conditions.
