Compare hip abductor repair methods after hip bone replacement
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial studies which surgical method best reconnects the hip “abductor” muscle after a proximal femur (upper thigh bone) replacement. It may help improve walking and recovery by guiding surgeons toward the most effective repair technique.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having, or have already had, a proximal femur replacement with an orthopedic oncology surgeon
- You can walk before the surgery (being non-ambulatory means you cannot walk)
- You are expected to be able to walk after the surgery (not non-ambulatory afterward)
- You can plan to attend at least part of the recommended follow-up visits after surgery

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two ways of fixing a recently broken acetabulum (the hip socket): one method keeps/repairs the socket (ORIF) and the other replaces it (THA). It aims to find which surgery approach leads to better outcomes for people who can have surgery soon after the injury.
This trial compares two approaches to partial hip replacement after a broken hip (femoral neck fracture). The goal is to see which approach leads to better mobility and daily function after surgery.
This trial compares two types of surgery to fix the top part of the thigh bone that has been weakened or broken by cancer that spread from another part of the body. One surgery replaces the damaged area with an artificial joint, and the other repairs it using metal plates and screws.
This study looks back at patients who had surgery to replace the top part of the thigh bone after a bone sarcoma. Researchers want to understand how well these surgeries worked over time.
This trial compares a modified hip implant positioning method to lower the chance of the hip “slipping out of place” (dislocation) after major hip tumor surgery and reconstruction. If you qualify, you may help test whether a small change in implant angle improves stability and function.
This trial studies which operation works better for an acute distal femur (upper knee area) fracture in older adults: repairing/fixing it versus replacing the joint/bone. It may help find the safest approach and improve walking and recovery for people in this situation.
