Testing a software app for hip screening in babies
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests a new software that helps doctors check babies for hip dysplasia using ultrasound. It may make screening easier and more accurate for infants who need it.
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 needs a routine hip screening with an ultrasound.
- You or a legal guardian must sign a consent form to join the study.
- Your baby should not have any open wounds, infections, or serious skin issues on the hip area.
- Your baby should not have major hip or leg deformities (like from cerebral palsy) or a history of hip surgery or injury.

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 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 tests a computer system (DeepDDH) that helps doctors spot hip problems in babies. It uses past ultrasound images to see if the AI can accurately detect developmental dysplasia of the hip.
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 study looks at babies under 3 months old with certain ultrasound findings of an underdeveloped hip (“hip dysplasia”). It compares outcomes between simply watching the hip and using a brace (when recommended).
This trial checks how well a hip screening program works for Turkish babies born in a specific hospital. It aims to find developmental hip problems early so they can be treated.
