Study of Hip Socket Fractures in Children
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were 18 years old or younger when you broke your hip socket
- Your injury and main treatment happened at University of Utah Hospital or Primary Children's Hospital
- You still have open growth plates (your bones are still growing)
- A parent, guardian, or family member can provide permission for you to join
- You do not have a bone disease like rickets or osteogenesis imperfecta
- You were able to walk before your injury

This study is observing people with pelvic ring and acetabular (hip-joint socket) fractures to better understand what happens over time. It may help doctors improve care, even though it does not test a new treatment.
This study compares two ways to fix a specific type of hip socket fracture (posterior wall fracture) using a rim plate or a buttress plate, with or without extra screws. It aims to find the best approach for healing.
This study compares two ways of fixing a recently broken acetabulum (the hip socket): one method keeps/repairs the socket (ORIF) and the other replaces it (THA). It aims to find which surgery approach leads to better outcomes for people who can have surgery soon after the injury.
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 looks at how well children's hip fractures heal and how their hip function recovers after treatment. It will use imaging and physical exams to track outcomes, helping doctors understand the best ways to manage these injuries.
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).
