The Adult Hip Dysplasia Study
A Survey-Based Exploration of the Lived Experiences of Adults Diagnosed with Hip Dysplasia
This study aims to comprehensively understand patients’ journeys with hip dysplasia into adulthood.
Studies on the impact of hip dysplasia on quality of life have often been limited by small sample sizes. Adults living with, or previously treated for, hip dysplasia are invited to share their experiences with diagnosis, treatment, and the overall impact of the condition on their quality of life.
Your insights will help inform future care practices and contribute to improving support for individuals living with this condition.
This survey is accepting responses from now until June 10th, 2026!
