Active clinical trials for "Hip Dislocation, Congenital"

Children who are diagnosed with Developmental Hip Dysplasia (DDH) are often categorized depending on the severity of their hip malformation. Regardless of the severity, the accepted form of treatment is the Pavlik Harness. Unfortunately, there is no specific recommended treatment regarding length of Pavlik Harness treatment for patients with DDH who have who have been categorized with stable Graf type IIc hips. The investigators will aim to answer this question with a randomized controlled trial of patients with these specific findings by dividing selected patients into 2 arms. Each arm consists of varying lengths of Pavlik harness treatment (treatment to normalization, no less than 6 weeks or 12 weeks full-time). Patient's two year follow up radiographs will determine the best means of treatment.

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is the commonest hip problem seen by pediatric orthopaedic surgeons (1). DDH refers to an abnormal configuration of, or relationship between, the femoral head and the acetabulum .Principals of surgical treatment of DDH, however, always include reduction and stabilization. These principals could be applied by conservative or surgical means (2). Goal of Treatment options to Obtain and maintain reduction without damaging femoral head. Surgical Stabilization might be required in cases with failed conservative treatment, residual dysplasia or older children with neglected DDH. Surgical stabilization is generally achieved by a reduction into a near anatomical position and a complementary capsulorrhaphy (3). In the classic T-shaped capsular incision, the vertical branch parallel to the axis of the neck and the horizontal branch 5 mm from the iliac insertion of the capsule, from anterior and downward to posterior and upward. Two flaps are thus obtained (4). It was noticed that doing capsulorrhaphy after head reduction is cumbersome with this technique because it needs shallow-curved needles while suturing in narrow field and sometimes the suture material gets avulsed from medial flab. A suggested technique by doing a modified incision to make re -suturing of the capsule easier with multiple stitches.

Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) is a common condition among young children that could range in severity. in most sever cases, surgical intervention is the best choice to correct the hip abnormality with the aim of restoring optimal functional ability. Referring patient for physiotherapy treatment post operative is not a common practice and surgeons relay on children natural developmental milestone in their recovery. however, prescribed physiotherapy treatment could promote maximum functional recovery and wellness. the aim of this research is (1) to evaluate the functional deference between patients who had conventional physiotherapy treatment program and patients who had home program prescribed by the orthopedic surgeon (2) to investigate what might be the underlying risk factors that could enhance or prohibit satisfactory functional level post operatively. all individuals diagnosed with DDH and operated by Dr. Saleh Alsaifi (an orthopedic surgeon at alrazi orthopedic hospital) will be invited to participate in this study. The study will look at the children development in fictional ability postoperatively. not being referred to physiotherapy is a common practice, so the patients in the intervention group will benefit from having regular physiotherapy treatment with no risk at all. the study run from Alrazi orthopedic hospital in kuwait. the research is a collaboration between an orthopedic surgeon (Dr. Saleh Alsaifi) and physiotherapy team and it is expected to recruit all of the eligible patients through 12 months period (approximately 50 patients) then, the data will be sorted for analysis and reporting. the study is not funded with no personal interest.

The study will assess the outcomes of patients treated with concomitant hip arthroscopy at the time of periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) for patients with hip dysplasia compared with patients treated with PAO alone.

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is one of the most common inborn diseases. Early diagnosis of this condition is very important and it can be harmful both to miss DDH and label normal infants as having DDH. Why DDH can be missed or labelled to normal children is not well understood but can be related to the doctor's knowledge, skill and the way the hip consultation is conducted. This research aims to help overcome these issues and proposes the use of a diagnostic aid (checklist) for DDH in general (GP) practices. The Investigator will divide general practices (GP) in England into two groups. One group will use our checklist for all hip checks they carry out. The other group will work as they usually do, without the aid. The study wishes to compare if GPs who use the checklist will do better in identifying babies with DDH than those who do not use our checklist. The Investigator will also evaluate whether using the checklist reduces costs for families around trips to doctors or hospitals, and costs to the NHS. In addition The Investigators will interview general practitioners, health visitors and carers of infants to elicit their perceptions about the intervention. The study will include GPs registered in England who carry out the 6-week hip check and agree to being randomised and to hospitals releasing data on infants they had examined during the study period. Practices planning to close within 12 months of the start of the study are not eligible. Eligible infants will be identified by general practice patient registers and infants will be invited to attend a 6-week check at their local practices, the research sites. The study plans to include a total of 152 practices in this study and will collaborate with 15 NIHR CRNs to recruit GP practices with efficient and existing infrastructure.

An abnormally formed hip joint (cam deformity) is a major cause of osteoarthritis (OA). Individuals may not experience any symptoms until OA is severe due to extensive cartilage loss and changes in underlying bone. A series of studies showed that the cam deformity can lead to the development of OA if left untreated, thus strongly suggesting a causal relationship. Currently, the cam deformity that causes pain is surgically removed to relieve the pain and treat the associated cartilage damage. Recent studies have demonstrated that surgical treatment leads to bone and cartilage changes that were related to improved function and reduced pain.

This is an investigator-initiated, Danish mono-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel group, double-blind, superiority trial of dexamethasone on postoperative pain management on patients undergoing operation for hip dysplasia with the periacetabular osteotomy procedure (PAO). 90 adults undergoing PAO will be enrolled. The primary outcome is to compare the effect of dexamethasone relative to placebo on cumulated postoperative morphine consumption at 48 hours. Key secondary outcomes include comparing the effect of repeated doses of dexamethasone relative to a single dose on cumulated postoperative morphine consumption at 48 hours, and to determine if dexamethasone is superior to placebo for: Perception of pain intensity, prevalence and degree of postoperative nausea and vomiting, and patient-reported outcome measures.

This study evaluates the feasibility and utility of contrast-enhanced ultrasound to provide real-time assessment of blood flow to the femoral head in infants undergoing surgical reduction for developmental dysplasia of the hip.

The objectives of this study are to obtain clinical performance (outcomes) data and survivorship for commercially available Vivacit-E (HXPE) liners. This will be done by analysis of polyethylene wear, validated outcome measurement tools, radiographs, and reported adverse events data.
