Hip Scope vs. Non-Surgery for Borderline Hip Dysplasia
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study compares hip arthroscopy (a minimally invasive surgery) with non-surgical treatments (like physical therapy) for people with borderline hip dysplasia. It aims to find out which approach works better for reducing pain and improving function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 42 years old.
- You have hip pain or discomfort on the front, side, or back of your hip.
- Your hip has a specific shape on X-ray (LCEA between 18 and 25 degrees), which is called borderline hip dysplasia.
- You have not had hip surgery on the same side before and have no other major hip problems.
- You are willing to participate in the study and follow the treatment plan.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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).
This trial looks at whether doing hip arthroscopy at the same time as periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is safe and helpful for people with hip dysplasia. It may matter for improving hip joint outcomes while your surgeon corrects bone alignment.
This study compares periacetabular osteotomy alone versus adding arthroscopy (a camera procedure inside the hip) to address cartilage/labrum problems in the hip’s center compartment. It aims to see which approach better improves symptoms and recovery for people with hip instability due to acetabular dysplasia.
This trial tests if cross-legged sitting can help children with hip dysplasia in one hip. It aims to improve hip development without surgery.
