Research

Is there research studying how to cure, prevent, or treat developmental dysplasia of the hip? Is there research studying the causes, mechanisms, or risk factors of developmental dysplasia of the hip?

One area of interest for us at Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center is the optimal type of osteotomy (cutting of the pelvis or femur) to treat developmental dysplasia of the hip. There are several ways the pelvis can be cut to better align, or redirect, the acetabulum in order to promote normal developmental of the hip. We would like to find out which of the various surgical methods has the best result so that we can provide that to our patients.
