Active clinical trials for "Hip Dislocation, Congenital"

In this study, the investigators retrospectively collected DDH case data of THA assisted by AI 3D planning and THA assisted by traditional planning. The compliance between preoperative planning and the type of prosthesis used in the operation, the position of the acetabular prosthesis, the correction of LLD and the postoperative joint function score were analysed to evaluate the short-term effect of AI combined with preoperative 3D planning in THA for DDH.

Early treatment is considered essential for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), but the choice of screening strategy is debated. The investigators evaluated the effect of a selective ultrasound (US) screening programme. All infants born in a defined region during 1991-2006 with increased risk of DDH, i.e. clinical hip instability, breech presentation, congenital foot deformities or a family history of DDH, were subjected to US screening at age one to three days. Severe sonographic dysplasia and/or dislocatable/dislocated hips were treated with abduction splints. Mild dysplasia and/or pathological instability, i.e. not dislocatable/dislocated hips were followed clinically and sonographically until spontaneous resolution, or until treatment became necessary. The minimum observation period was 5,5 years.

The objective of this study is to gather clinical and survivorship information for the C2a-Taper™ Acetabular System, a ceramic-on-ceramic hip articulating system.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate outcome after arthroscopy if the hip in patients previous treated with periacetabular osteotomy

This cross-sectional study investigates the physical capacity of patients, who have undergone a periacetabular osteotomy for hip dysplasia within the last 1-5 years.

The investigators aim to measure the blood levels of certain metals in a group of patients all of whom have had a ceramic on metal total hip replacement. This new bearing surface (joint) is relatively new and the investigators are currently following up the largest cohort in the world. Clinical results are currently excellent at 2 years in all patients, however the investigators are mindful of the lessons learned from the high failure rate of several designs of metal on metal hip replacements as well as several in vitro reports and one in vivo case report of elevated metal levels in this particular implant. The investigators feel it is important to measure the metal ion levels in our group to ascertain and compare these with reference standards. Once performed the investigators can relate ion levels to function and x ray changes and provide useful longterm data to the patients and the wider medical community as to whether this bearing surface is safe in the long term or whether it's use should be abandoned. This is useful as there are numerous groups implanting this device in the UK and in addition it has just been awarded FDA approval in the USA - its use is likely to flourish.

The annual number of live births in Türkiye is 1,112,859 in 2020 and the estimated incidence of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is between 5 and 15 per 1000 live births. The implementation of the National DDH Early Diagnosis and Treatment Program by the Türkiye Republic of the Ministry of Health in 2010 significantly reduced the number of patients with DDH diagnosed more than 6 months later. If not appropriately treated, DDH can cause a decrease in the number of healthy life years, and workforce losses, which consequently burdens the social security system and government budget. The vast majority of clinical trials comprise risk factors associated with complications after treatment of DDH. Moreover, studies involving functional assessments are generally focused on adult DDH patients with surgical indications. To the best of the investigators' knowledge, mid-term patient-reported and performance-based functionality has not been examined in conservatively treated patients. In addition, it is not known whether the diagnosis of unilateral and bilateral DDH in these patients will make a difference in daily activities which require bilateral functionality of the lower limbs. Therefore, in this study, the investigators examined and compared the mid-term patient-reported and performance-based functional outcomes in patients with unilateral and bilateral DDH treated with a hip abduction brace. This study provides new data on mid-term functionality in children with unilateral and bilateral DDH. It can guide determining the lower extremity functional levels of school-age children with DDH, regular follow-up, early diagnosis, and treatment planning for problems.

Hip Dysplasia, or Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a congenital disorder of the hip joint characterized by a shallow, or dysplastic hip socket, with potential risks of developing progressive joint dislocation, early osteoarthritis from young adulthood and serious functional disability. The Hip Cohort Study is the first longitudinal, population-based hip "phenobank" which includes standardized ultrasound examinations of the newborn hip, radiographs at skeletal maturity (around 19 years), as well as clinical data and DNA samples from the participants. The combination of genetic analyses with the rich radiological and clinical data collected at different life stages during the first two decades of life will enable identification of biological pathways (advanced genetic analyses) that are significantly associated with different radiological indices of hip dysplasia. This will allow for early, targeted treatment of the DDH disease and thus reduce the risk of later osteoarthritis.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether successful external cephalic version is associated with maternal thyroid function and mood state in pregnant women with breech presentation at term. The relationship between successful external cephalic version and neonatal thyroid function will also be investigated. A possible beneficial effect of successful external cephalic version on the development of congenital hip dysplasia will be evaluated.

Introduction: The lack of congruence between the acetabulum and femoral head in hip dysplasia compromise the passive stability of the hip joint resulting in increased stress on the acetabular labrum, joint capsule and the muscles acting close to the hip joint. Soft tissue injury is present in hip dysplasia, and pathology of the iliopsoas muscle has been found in 18-50%. To our knowledge, no studies have systematically examined the prevalence of soft tissue pathology in hip dysplasia. The overall aim of this research project is to examine soft tissue pathology in 100 patients with hip dysplasia prior to and one year after Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO). Methods: Soft tissue pathology will be examined in a prospective cohort study on 100 patients with hip dysplasia prior to and one year after surgery. Pathology will be examined using ultrasonography and the Clinical Entities Approach that focus on pathology of the iliopsoas, adductors, rectus abdominis, gluteus medius and hamstrings. Furthermore, hip muscle strength is tested with a dynamometer, hip related health is measured with the Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS) and physical activity is measured with triaxial accelerometers during a period of 7 days. Perspective: Is it possible to demonstrate pathology of the hip muscles and tendons applying clinical tests, muscle strength tests, and ultrasonography, as it has been found in sports-active people with groin pain, it will make sense to plan and test a specific training program focusing on the pathological soft tissue pathology.
