Ligamentum teres surgery for hip dysplasia in children
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests using a ligament in the hip to help treat developmental hip dysplasia in children who haven't improved with earlier treatments. It aims to improve hip stability and function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your child has not improved with a closed reduction procedure.
- Your child has not improved with an open reduction through a medial approach.
- Your child has not had prior surgery through an anterior approach.

This study compares two treatments for a condition called borderline hip dysplasia, where the hip socket is slightly too shallow, causing pain. It aims to see whether arthroscopic surgery or non-surgical care (like physical therapy) works better for relieving symptoms.
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.
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 study looks at whether sitting with legs crossed (cross-legged sitting) can help improve hip joint development in children with hip dysplasia in one hip. It aims to see if this simple position change can be an effective part of treatment for young children.
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 uses MRI scans before and after hip socket surgery to measure how the surgery changes the shape and size of the hip joint. It helps doctors understand which surgical technique works best for children with hip dysplasia (a condition where the hip socket doesn't fully cover the thighbone).
