Testing a software tool for hip screening in babies
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial tests a new software program that helps doctors read ultrasound images of babies' hips to check for hip dysplasia, a condition where the hip joint doesn't form properly. It may help make screening more accurate and easier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be between 4 weeks and 6 months old.
- Your baby is scheduled for a routine hip ultrasound as part of normal screening.
- You (or your legal guardian) must agree in writing to let your baby take part.
- Your baby must not have any open wounds, skin infections, or burns on the hip area.
- Your baby must not have major hip or leg deformities, or a history of hip surgery or injury.

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 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).
This study compares two lengths of treatment (8 weeks vs 12 weeks) using a Pavlik harness, a soft brace that helps keep a baby's hip in the correct position. The goal is to see if a shorter treatment time works just as well as the longer one.
This trial uses a computer system to screen hip ultrasounds from babies, to help find hip problems earlier and more accurately. Your baby's existing ultrasound images will be checked by the system.
This trial tests whether an artificial intelligence tool can help doctors more accurately diagnose hip dysplasia in babies using ultrasound images. It might help your baby get a faster and more precise diagnosis if they are already being checked for a hip problem.
This trial uses artificial intelligence to improve hip screening for newborns at risk of hip dysplasia. It aims to make screening more accurate and help identify hip problems earlier.
