Ligamentum Teres for hip dysplasia treatment
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests using a special ligament (the ligamentum teres) to treat hip dysplasia in children. It may help children whose earlier treatments, like closed reduction or open reduction through the groin, have not worked.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has developmental hip dysplasia that has not been treated before (virgin DDH).
- A closed reduction (moving the hip into place without cutting) did not fix the problem.
- An open reduction through a medial (groin) approach also failed to fix the hip.
- Your child has not had a hip surgery through an incision on the front of the hip (anterior approach).
- Your child is under 5 years old.

This trial tests if cross-legged sitting can help children with hip dysplasia in one hip. It aims to improve hip development without surgery.
This study is for people with mild hip dysplasia and a labral tear. Doctors will use a camera (arthroscopy) to look inside the hip and fix the problem, aiming to ease pain and improve function.
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 manual therapy to the usual Pavlik harness care helps babies with hip dysplasia (a hip joint that did not form correctly) improve faster. It is for infants already using a Pavlik harness.
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 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).
