SLIP Registry - Clinical Trial
What is the Purpose of this Study?
If you join this research registry, you will be asked to fill out short surveys that take about 10 to 15 minutes each time. These surveys will be done at several times, including your first doctor visit, and then after surgery at 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, and 10 years. The final survey will be completed at your last clinic visit for SCFE.
This study is collecting information about a common hip problem in teenagers called slipped capital femoral epiphysis, or SCFE. SCFE happens when the top part of the thigh bone slips out of place at the hip. Researchers are gathering details about treatments and how patients recover so doctors can better understand this condition and improve care for teenagers who have it.
Who Can Participate in the Study?
People can join this study if they are children or teenagers under 18 who have been diagnosed with SCFE. They must be getting their follow up care at a Duke location, or have been treated at Duke before for this condition. Children cannot join if they have certain other health conditions, such as cerebral palsy, spina bifida, or osteogenesis imperfecta.
What is Involved?
The purpose of this project is to collect important information from children and teenagers who have a hip problem called SCFE. Doctors will put this information together in a large research database. Researchers from many places can use this information to study treatments right now and learn which care options may help patients the most.
