CT-planned testing to improve hip fracture and replacement care
This study uses your routine pre-surgery CT scan to study a broken or replacement hip bone with computer modeling and lab-style analysis. It aims to help doctors better understand bone healing and improve how hip fractures and replacements are handled.
Miano, MilanoAges 18 years+ - NCT04505020Enrolling by invitation
3D-printed planning to help hip preservation surgery
This study tests whether using 3D-printed models from scans can help plan hip preservation surgery for people with a specific hip shape problem (cam-type femoroacetabular impingement). It may help surgeons plan more precisely, though you would only be eligible if your hip damage and other health factors fit specific limits.
Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07871487Recruiting
Brain protein changes after hip or knee replacement surgery
This study looks at whether having hip or knee replacement surgery with spinal anesthesia affects certain proteins in the brain that are linked to memory and thinking. It compares people having surgery with people who have arthritis but are not having surgery, to help understand if the surgery causes any short-term brain changes.
UppsalaAges 55–75 - NCT07799818Recruiting
Joint replacement study for hip or knee
This study looks at how well hip or knee replacements work. If you are already scheduled for a replacement or a revision (a second replacement), you may be able to join.
Bonn, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18–100 - NCT06024304Recruiting
New screw for hip fracture recovery
This study tests a new surgical screw designed to fix hip fractures more securely, helping you regain strength and move better after surgery. It is for people who broke only a specific part of the hip and were walking well before their injury.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 55 years+ - NCT05488054Recruiting
Checking oxygen levels and blood counts during ACL rehab
This study measures oxygen levels in your muscles and hemoglobin (a blood protein that carries oxygen) while you recover after arthroscopic hip surgery. It may help researchers understand how the body responds during rehabilitation after orthopedic surgery.
Avon, OhioAges 14–30 - NCT05112302Enrolling by invitation
Virtual reality during orthopedic anesthesia
This study tests whether using virtual reality during hip or knee surgery (while you’re receiving a nerve block for anesthesia) helps make the experience more comfortable. You’d try the VR during your procedure, and the team will compare outcomes with usual care.
Jackson, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05389410Recruiting
PICO dressings compared during repeat hip or knee surgery
This study compares two types of wound dressings (PICO 7 vs PICO 14) in people having a repeat (revision) hip or knee operation. It aims to see which dressing works better to help the surgical wound heal after surgery.
Oswestry, ShropshireAges 18 years+ - NCT07549542Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Testing antibiotic delivery method for hip replacement surgery
This study compares a new way of delivering antibiotics directly into the bone during hip replacement surgery versus the standard IV method. The goal is to see if this approach prevents infection just as well while potentially improving outcomes.
Somerset, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07394582Recruiting
Pre-surgery optimization for hip or knee replacement
This trial tests a program to improve your health before hip or knee replacement surgery. It aims to help you recover better and reduce risks.
Innsbruck, TyrolAges 18–99 - NCT07333560Recruiting
Predicting recovery after hip or knee replacement
This study is developing a tool that uses machine learning to predict how well you will recover after hip or knee replacement surgery. It aims to help doctors create better recovery plans for people like you.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06563531Recruiting
Do compression stockings help after hip or knee replacement?
This trial looks at whether compression stockings are still needed for people who have a new hip or knee joint and are following a modern "fast-track" recovery program. It aims to find out if these stockings are necessary to prevent blood clots when people are up and moving quickly after surgery.
BrestAges 18 years+ - NCT05221554Recruiting
Pre-surgery hip replacement modeling study
This trial tests a new way to plan hip replacement surgery using a CT scan. It may help doctors place the new hip more accurately, which could lead to better outcomes.
London, OntarioAges 40 years+ - NCT06308965Recruiting
Does blood vessel-sparing hip replacement improve recovery?
This study compares two different surgical techniques for total hip replacement using an anterior approach. The goal is to see if saving the small blood vessels around the hip during surgery leads to a better recovery for patients.
Genk, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07020312RecruitingPhase 2
Brain training to improve muscle recovery after joint surgery
This trial tests whether brain-computer interface training can help you regain muscle control more effectively after knee or hip surgery. It focuses on four common procedures and uses neurofeedback to optimize muscle activation during recovery.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07356323Recruiting
Study on antibacterial drape for hip or knee replacement
This trial tests if a special antibacterial drape reduces contamination during hip or knee replacement surgery. The drape is placed over the skin to help prevent infection.
Fishers, IndianaAges 22 years+ - NCT05381818Recruiting
Breathing muscle training before joint surgery
This trial tests whether strengthening breathing muscles before total joint surgery can lower the chance of lung complications after the operation. It may help people who already have breathing problems or a history of smoking.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18–100 - NCT05548972Enrolling by invitation
Follow-up study of a hip replacement to improve implant wear
This study checks how well a specific hip replacement bearing surface (called dual mobility with Vivacit-E or Longevity) performs over time in real-world patients. It may help people by tracking long-term safety and performance to guide better hip replacement choices.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18–80 - NCT07872826Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Study of pain relief injection after hip replacement surgery
This study tests a new pain-relief injection given during hip replacement surgery to reduce pain after the operation. The goal is to help patients recover with less discomfort and possibly reduce the need for other pain medications.
