Ace Avanteon hip replacement study
This trial is testing a new type of hip replacement called Ace Avanteon to see how it works for people with hip arthritis. If you are between 65 and 80 years old and need a first-time hip replacement, you may be able to join.
Kristiansund, Møre and RomsdalAges 65–80 - NCT06522087Recruiting
40 Hz brain stimulation to prevent confusion after hip or knee replacement

Games and stress balls for anxiety after knee surgery

IspartaAges 18 years+ - NCT06527664Recruiting
Custom hip implant for failed arthritis treatments
This trial tests a custom-made hip socket implant for people who have had a failed hip replacement or arthritis treatment. It aims to see if a personalized implant can provide a better solution.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06557018RecruitingPhase 4
Numbing medicine injection for knee replacement pain
This study tests a long-lasting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) injected around the knee during total knee replacement surgery. It aims to see if this medicine helps control pain and reduce the need for other painkillers after surgery.
Dezhou, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT06565910RecruitingPhase 4
Pain relief after hip surgery: long-acting vs standard numbing medicine
This study tests if a long-acting numbing medicine (bupivacaine liposome) combined with a standard numbing medicine works better for pain control after hip fracture surgery. It compares two different combinations to see which provides more effective pain relief.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–60 - NCT06586840Recruiting
Adding an extra nerve block to knee replacement
This trial tests if adding a special nerve block behind the knee (IPACK) to a standard thigh block helps control pain better after total knee replacement. It may lead to less pain and faster recovery.
AydinAges 18–85 - NCT07286513Enrolling by invitation
Study of a new knee replacement implant
This study follows patients who receive a specific type of knee replacement implant called the Persona® SoluTion® PPS, to see how well it works over time. If your surgeon recommends this implant and you meet standard health requirements, you may be able to join.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06600815Recruiting
Step-by-step numbing shots for pain relief in knee replacement
This study tests whether a special step-by-step numbing injection given before knee replacement surgery can provide better pain relief during and after the procedure. It may help you have less pain and use fewer painkillers after surgery.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT06617871Recruiting
Comparing two ways to align a new knee replacement
This study compares two different techniques (mechanical alignment vs. kinematic alignment) used during knee replacement surgery with a special knee system. It aims to see which technique leads to better results for patients.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 21–79 - NCT06627673Recruiting
A new knee implant study for severe arthritis
This study compares a new plastic-and-metal knee implant to a standard metal one for people with severe knee arthritis. If you need a total knee replacement and your knee is not too bent or twisted, you may be a candidate.
Leawood, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06640764Recruiting
Study of Medacta SMS hip stem for hip replacement

Saint-JeanAges 18–85 - NCT06643845Recruiting
Can medical treatments delay or avoid knee replacement?
This trial tests whether a combination of non-surgical treatments can help people with knee osteoarthritis avoid or delay total knee replacement surgery. It may be an option if you are considering knee replacement but want to explore medical alternatives first.
AmiensAges 18–90 - NCT06644729Recruiting
Shoulder surgery long-term study
This study looks at how patients who had rotator cuff repair surgery between 2010 and 2014 are doing now, including their shoulder function and x-ray results. It helps doctors understand long-term outcomes and when more surgery like reverse shoulder replacement may be needed.
OsloAges 18–95 - NCT06701474Recruiting
Knee replacement recovery: comparing body composition groups
This study looks at how well people recover after total knee replacement, comparing those with different body composition levels. The goal is to see if a measure called 'phase angle' affects recovery of strength and function.
Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 55 years+ - NCT04297592Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Antibiotics to prevent infection after hip or knee replacement
This trial studies whether giving antibiotics before and/or after surgery can lower the chance of a serious joint infection after elective hip or knee replacement. It’s aimed at people at higher risk for infection.

Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06784882RecruitingPhase 4
Continuous vs. single-injection nerve block for outpatient knee replacement
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks for pain control after total knee replacement. You will receive either a one-time injection or a continuous block that delivers medication through a small tube. The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief while allowing you to go home the same day.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06850818Recruiting
