The International Hip Dysplasia Registry: Global Collaborations in Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip
The International Hip Dysplasia Registry (IHDR): Global Collaborations in Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is the most common pediatric hip disorder, and despite decades of research, there is very little high-level evidence to inform health care providers, patients and families on the diagnosis, treatment and management of this condition.
The International Hip Dysplasia Registry (IHDR) was established in 2016 with the principles of global equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) at the forefront.
The registry has since expanded from 8 centres to 29 centres across eight countries on five continents to become the largest prospective study on DDH in the world.
They are also actively seeking to further include under-represented regions through strategic addition of centres.

• Recently, surpassing 4000 patients recruited worldwide, IHDR is ideally positioned to carry out targeted hypothesis testing studies on long-standing areas of controversy or equipoise in the field.
