Use of Intraoperative Contrast-enhanced Ultrasound to Evaluate Femoral Head Perfusion in Infants With Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip at the Time of Surgical Reduction

NCT03107520 EARLY_PHASE1 RECRUITING

This study evaluates the feasibility and utility of contrast-enhanced ultrasound to provide real-time assessment of blood flow to the femoral head in infants undergoing surgical reduction for developmental dysplasia of the hip.

Conditions

• Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip

Interventions

• Intraoperative contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS)
• Lumason

Primary outcomes

• Visualization of epiphyseal vascularity in the femoral head — 1 day
  The visualization of epiphyseal vascularity on the sonogram from intraoperative CEUS will be assessed by a trained sonographer and musculoskeletal radiologist administering the CEUS and reviewing the images.
