Clinical Trial of Concomitant Hip Arthroscopy During PAO

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how well patients with hip dysplasia recover when they have two procedures done at the same time: a periacetabular osteotomy (PAO), which is a surgery to reposition the hip joint, and a hip arthroscopy, a less invasive surgery to look inside the hip and treat any problems. The goal is to see if doing both surgeries together leads to better outcomes compared to just doing the PAO alone.

To participate in this trial, individuals need to be between the ages of 15 and 55 and have been diagnosed with hip dysplasia. They should have minimal to no arthritis in their hip and be able to undergo a specific type of MRI scan before the surgery. Unfortunately, pregnant women, those who have already had surgery on their hip, and individuals with certain other conditions won't be eligible. Participants can expect to receive care and follow-up throughout the trial, helping researchers understand the best approach to treating hip dysplasia. If you or someone you know meets these criteria and is interested, this trial may be a valuable opportunity to contribute to medical knowledge in this area.
