Hip Socket Surgery Imaging Study for Children
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age between 2 and 18 years old
- Diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip or residual acetabular dysplasia (underdeveloped hip socket)
- Planning to have one of four specific hip socket surgeries (Salter, Dega, San Diego, or Pemberton osteotomy) at Istanbul University Hospital
- MRI scan done within 6 weeks before surgery and another scan 3 to 8 weeks after surgery
- No previous hip surgery that changed the bone structure, and no metal implants in or near the hip
- Able to safely have an MRI (no metal implants incompatible with MRI, no severe claustrophobia, and able to receive sedation if needed)

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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.
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 research study collects information about children who have broken their hip socket (the cup-shaped bone that holds the thighbone). Researchers at University of Utah hospitals want to understand how these fractures heal and what outcomes children have over time.
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 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.
