Sports Recovery After Hip Realignment Surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study follows patients who had hip socket realignment surgery (PAO) to understand how well they return to sports and physical activities. Researchers will review medical records from the past 7+ years to learn what helps patients get back to the sports they love.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had periacetabular osteotomy (PAO)—a hip socket realignment surgery—at one of three centers in Italy between 2017 and March 2025
- At least 6 months have passed since your surgery
- Your medical records and imaging scans from the surgery and follow-up care are available for review
- You were between 12 and 40 years old when you had the surgery
- You are willing to participate and can provide informed consent (or a parent/guardian can consent if you were a minor)

This study looks at how personalized rehabilitation after hip or knee replacement surgery can improve your quality of life. It is for people who had their surgery at IRCCS Galeazzi Orthopedic Institute in 2019.
This study looks at how people move and return to sports after total hip replacement surgery. If you are an active person planning to have a hip replacement, this trial may help understand your recovery.
This trial studies how the hip moves and works after hip arthroscopy (a keyhole surgery to fix a torn labrum). It aims to help athletes like you return to sport safely.
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 trial compares two different recovery plans after surgery for a broken hip socket. You will be assigned to one of two weight-bearing schedules, and researchers will see which one leads to better healing.
This study compares three types of hip replacement surgery (total hip, Minihip, and RSA) using 3D imaging to see which one best restores normal hip function. It might be a good fit if you are planning one of these surgeries and have a healthy other hip.
