Ligamentum Teres Tenodesis in Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip

Orthopedic Disorder Clinical Trial

Official title: The Role of Ligamentum Teres Tenodesis in the Management of Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) remains challenging, yet recent advances have refined our understanding of how best to survey for the condition during infancy, minimize complications during early treatment, and refine the selection of patients who can best benefit from hip preservation surgery. The ideal continued target would be to prevent missed hip dislocations or dysplasia during the infant period, prevent avascular necrosis (AVN) during early treatment, and decrease the incidence of total hip arthroplasty in adulthood related to undertreated DDH, The goal of the treatment is to achieve a concentric reduction of the femoral head into the acetabulum.

Clinical Trial Description

it is an operative technique to secure the femoral head after reduction in cases of developmental dysplasia of the hip

Operative technique:

The surgery will be accomplished under a general anesthesia.

An addition to the steps of the open reduction, the following were done:

1. Identification of ligamentum teres

2. ligamentum teres tenodesis ;
