Clinical Trial Summary

Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) is a common diagnosis in children that if untreated may lead to degeneration and arthritis of the hip joint at a young age. Ultrasound imaging is used to monitor progress of the developing hip joint during treatment. Initial data from our practice suggests that interim ultrasounds do not alter the course or outcome of treatment. Additionally, these ultrasounds add significant time to clinic visits and carry a substantial cost to the health care system. The goal of this study is to determine if limiting the number of ultrasounds during treatment results in the same outcomes while also evaluating the amount of time and money saved by omitting the ultrasounds.
