Orthopedics Clinical Trials
What We’re Studying Now
At Nemours, we advance care through clinical research focused on orthopedic, spine, and musculoskeletal conditions in children and teens. Our current studies are helping us improve treatments for scoliosis, cerebral palsy, skeletal dysplasias, hip disorders, and complex spine deformities.

More About Clinical Trials
Learn what to expect from a clinical trial — how they work, why they matter, and what to consider when deciding if one is right for your child.
How Research Connects to Care
Our orthopedic research is grounded in real-world clinical care that’s focused on improving quality of life for children with movement, posture, and skeletal conditions.
We investigate new surgical techniques, monitor long-term outcomes, and evaluate the safest, most effective treatments. Each trial helps us refine how we care for children today while shaping the therapies of tomorrow.
