Comparing two types of hip replacement stems
This study compares two kinds of hip implant stems (one with a collar, one without) to see which works better for patients getting their first total hip replacement. If you are scheduled for a cement-free hip replacement due to arthritis, this trial may be a good fit.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18–99 - NCT07506330Enrolling by invitation
Surgical environment and surgeon stress study
This study looks at how different surgical environments affect the stress levels of orthopaedic surgeons. It compares doing joint replacements the traditional way versus using a robot, to see which approach might be easier on the surgeon.
LondonAges 18–65 - NCT04210284Recruiting
Oral nutrition support before hip or knee replacement
This trial tests whether an oral nutrition plan given before elective hip or knee replacement can help people with low nutrition (“malnutrition”) do better after surgery. If you’re a candidate for surgery and meet lab signs of poor nutrition, you may be asked to take an oral supplement by mouth.
New York, New YorkAges 55 years+ - NCT04295486RecruitingPhase 2
Low-dose aspirin to prevent blood clots after hip or knee surgery
This Phase 2 study tests the best dose of low-dose aspirin to help prevent dangerous blood clots after total hip or knee replacement surgery. If you’re at lower clot risk and can safely take aspirin, it may help reduce clot risk while you recover.
Miami, FloridaAges 19 years+ - NCT05788016Recruiting
Help planning an opioid taper before knee or hip surgery
This study looks at a plan to safely reduce (taper) opioid pain medicines before total knee or hip replacement surgery. It may help people who are already taking opioids and are preparing for surgery in the next 1 to 2 months.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06747494Recruiting
Comparing general vs spinal anesthesia for hip or knee replacement
This study compares two types of anesthesia (general and spinal) for people having a total hip or knee replacement. The goal is to see which approach is better for recovery and overall outcomes.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT03275610Enrolling by invitation
Genetic study in people with past lung blood clots after knee or hip surgery
This study looks at genetic (inherited DNA) markers in people who have had a lung blood clot (pulmonary embolism) after having a hip or knee replacement. The goal is to understand why blood clots may happen again and help improve future risk prediction and care.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT06383936Recruiting
Knee replacement for active sports lovers
This study tests a new knee replacement designed for active people ages 40 to 65 who used to play sports but had to stop due to knee pain. It aims to see if the implant helps you return to your favorite activities.
BolognaAges 40–65 - NCT06293352Recruiting
Comparing two antibiotic spacers for knee infection
This trial compares two types of antibiotic spacers for people with a long-term knee replacement infection. It tests whether a spacer made entirely of antibiotic cement or one with a metal core works better to treat the infection before a new knee replacement.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06342843Recruiting
Comparing two ways to do hip replacement surgery
This trial compares two different surgical approaches for total hip replacement: the direct superior approach and the posterolateral approach. It aims to see which one leads to better recovery and outcomes for people with severe hip arthritis.
Breda, North BrabantAges 18–99 - NCT07442812Recruiting
Dexamethasone: pill vs. IV for knee replacement recovery
This trial compares two ways of giving dexamethasone (a strong anti-inflammatory) for people having knee replacement surgery. One group gets a pill and the other gets an IV. The goal is to see which method works better for pain, swelling, and recovery.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 50–80 - NCT04147559Enrolling by invitation
Long-term follow-up for a specific hip replacement stem
This study checks how well a particular hip replacement stem (the PROFEMUR Preserve Classic Femoral Stem) and matching parts keep working over many years. You may be invited if you had that exact hip replacement combination and can return for long-term checkups.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 21 years+ - NCT07089251RecruitingPhase 4
Epinephrine and tranexamic acid in knee replacement surgery
This study tests if using epinephrine and tranexamic acid together helps reduce bleeding and improve outcomes during knee replacement surgery. It may be a good fit if you are planning to have knee replacement and do not have certain medical conditions or allergies to these medicines.
Riyadh, Riyadh RegionAges 18–70 - NCT05936814Recruiting
Study measures knee alignment in severe varus osteoarthritis
This study focuses on people age 65+ with severe “varus” knee alignment osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear arthritis that affects how the knee lines up). It aims to use your knee measurements and data to better understand the condition and guide care.
AnkaraAges 65 years+ - NCT07125833Recruiting
Cold therapy for shoulder replacement pain
This trial tests if freezing a nerve near the shoulder before surgery can reduce pain after a reverse total shoulder replacement. It may help you recover with less discomfort.
Rockwall, TexasAges 30–85 - NCT06856356Recruiting
Robot-assisted knee replacement surgery study
This study tests if robot-assisted total knee replacement surgery is safe and effective. It may help people who need knee replacement surgery by using advanced technology for more precise implant placement.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–80 - NCT07552415Recruiting
Joint Immobilization After Knee Replacement Revision Surgery
This study tests whether keeping your knee still for a period after revision knee replacement surgery helps improve how well you can bend and straighten it. Researchers want to see if immobilization (using a brace or cast) helps you regain better movement compared to standard care.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07465484Recruiting
Total knee replacement for bow-leg deformity
This study looks at how well total knee replacement works for people who have severe knee arthritis and a bow-leg (varus) deformity. It may help you if you have a lot of knee pain and are considering surgery.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT07544264Recruiting
Five-Year Knee Replacement Outcomes Study
This study follows patients who receive a new knee joint replacement for severe knee arthritis or similar conditions. Researchers will track how well the artificial knee works and how patients recover over 5 years to ensure the replacement lasts and improves quality of life.
BolognaAges 50–85 - NCT04049279Recruiting
Testing hip implant cement amount for better stability
This study compares hip implant “migration” (how the implant may slowly shift) when a cemented hip cup is used with different cement approaches. It may help surgeons choose the option that keeps the implant more stable over time.
AmsterdamAges 65 years+ - NCT05719935Recruiting
KinematX wrist replacement registry for people with wrist arthritis
This trial is a registry that follows people who get (or already had) a KinematX total wrist replacement. It collects health and recovery information to better understand outcomes for different wrist problems, like arthritis or certain bone alignment issues.
Loma Linda, CaliforniaAges 18–85 - NCT07003932Recruiting
Remote monitoring after knee replacement surgery
This trial tests a remote monitoring program for people having knee replacement surgery. It uses a smartphone app to track your recovery, so you can stay in touch with your care team without needing extra clinic visits.
Oslo, Please SelectAges 50 years+ - NCT07124494Recruiting
Anesthesia type and recovery after knee replacement
This study compares two types of anesthesia for total knee replacement to see which helps with pain, movement, and satisfaction after surgery. If you are scheduled for a knee replacement and are willing to have a spinal or epidural anesthesia, you may be able to join.
Konya, MeramAges 18 years+ - NCT05992064Recruiting
