Active clinical trials for "Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip"

The purpose of this study is to monitor the performance of the Pinnacle™ Cup with a polyethylene-on-metal bearing combination in the treatment of patients with hip joint disease requiring a total hip replacement. Patients who enter the study will be evaluated at regular intervals following hip surgery using patient, clinical and x-ray assessments.

The treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) remains challenging, yet recent advances have refined our understanding of how best to survey for the condition during infancy, minimize complications during early treatment, and refine the selection of patients who can best benefit from hip preservation surgery. The ideal continued target would be to prevent missed hip dislocations or dysplasia during the infant period, prevent avascular necrosis (AVN) during early treatment, and decrease the incidence of total hip arthroplasty in adulthood related to undertreated DDH, The goal of the treatment is to achieve a concentric reduction of the femoral head into the acetabulum.

The hip is formed by the acetabulum, the proximal femur and soft tissues joining them (capsule, teres ligament, transverse ligament and pulvinar). The acetabulum is a complex structure in the growing child. It is formed by the joined pubis, This junction is called tri radiate cartilage, which is responsible for acetabular growth. The external surface of the acetabulum is covered by a horse shoe-shaped articular cartilage. The transverse ligament joins both extremes of the articular cartilage inferiorly.

Adequate growth and development of the hip depends on two main factors: concentric positioning of femoral head into the acetabular cavity and adequate balance in growth between tri-radiate and acetabular cartilage. Any alteration in these two conditions leads to a hip dysplasia & dislocation

Although evidence is amassing regarding the role of intra-articular pathology in the surgical management of adolescents and adults with hip dysplasia, the optimal method of detection and especially management of this pathology remains unclear. No studies exist to compare clinical outcomes and hip survival between arthroscopy and arthrotomy in patients with mechanical hip pain undergoing periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) for dysplasia, and this is what the investigators aim to achieve in the current prospective randomized surgical trial.

This is a multi-centre, prospective post marketing surveillance study to assess mid-term performance of the Mpact cup in subjects requiring primary total hip arthroplasty.

This study is monocentric, retrospective and prospective, non-controlled, consecutive series Post-Market Clinical Follow-up Study to Provide Safety, Performance and Clinical Benefits Data of the Largest Zimmer® Maxera™ Cup (Implants and Instrumentation)

Caudal blockade (CB) is one of the most frequently performed regional anaesthetic techniques in children. It's an efficient way to offer perioperative analgesia for painful sub-umbilical interventions but with high incidence of motor block and urinary retention. In one study, psoas compartment block was associated with less morphine comsumption and prolonged duration of analgesia compared to single-shot caudal Block in small children undergoing open hip reduction/osteotomies. Ultasound guided anterior Quadratus lumborum block (AQLB) provides unilateral analgesia to the nerves between the psoas muscle (PM) and the quadratus lumborum muscle (QLM). The first pediatric study evaluating Quadratus lumborum block is encouraging . The first pediatric study evaluating Quadratus lumborum block is encouraging. To the best of the investigator's knowledge, there are no previously published data comparing the AQLB with other regional techniques in infants undergoing hip surgery.

M.M.A.TECH Ltd. product is an Acetabular Liner Family produced of an advanced polyimide - MP-1™. M.M.A.TECH Ltd. produces the Liners according to EN ISO 13485:2012 approved manufacturing process and supplies them to the customer. The aim of this study is to evaluate, in the frame of PMCF, the safety and performance of using AL-X MP1 Polyimide Acetabular liners in Total Hip Replacement surgery by clinical following up of patients for a period of 2 years .

This study aims to: 1) investigate the effectiveness of waterproof spica cast using Delta-Dry® Pantaloon and cast padding (BSN medical, USA) versus standard gortex pantaloon with cotton cast padding in maintaining the femur fracture and developmental dysplasia of the hip reduction after application of hip spica; 2) evaluate the overall quality ratings of both cast paddings from the perspectives of the patient and the clinicians; and 3) determine the cost difference between the both cast paddings.
