Active clinical trials for "Hip Dislocation"

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.

Single Blinded, Randomized-control tiral, Multicenter clinical trial

Although older children and high dislocations may be more likely to require a femoral shortening osteotomy, the ultimate decision about whether or not to shorten a given femur should depend on the ease of femoral head reduction in that specific patient. Adding a femoral shortening procedure increases operating time and blood loss, adds a second incision, and necessitates future hardware removal. In addition, an unnecessary femoral shortening osteotomy could overly decrease the soft tissue tension around the joint, putting the hip at risk for redislocation. This study was designed to explore an algorithm based on strict age and radiographic criteria that identify those without the need of femoral osteotomy.

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.

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.

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 aim of this study is to improve the manufacturing techniques of hip brace in preventing progressive hip displacement in patients with severe cerebral palsy, through the measurement of patient's physical size using a 3D scanner.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of closed reduction with anesthesia and no anesthesia for developmental dislocation of the hip < 6 months

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.

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.
