Research

At Mayo Clinic, specialists in orthopedics and related fields pursue new knowledge and improvements in the reliability, comfort and cost of treating hip dysplasia.

Health care professionals in the Young Hip Clinic also conduct research. Researchers are particularly interested in determining whether fixing the hip mechanics will prevent the need for a hip replacement later in life. They also are evaluating biologic options to treat the labral and cartilage damage.
