Testing modified devices for hip arthroscopy in adults
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at modified tools used during hip arthroscopy for people with hip impingement (FAI) and/or hip dysplasia. It may help patients with long-lasting hip pain and stiffness when non-surgical treatments haven’t worked.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re between 18 and 60 years old
- You’ve been diagnosed with hip impingement (FAI), hip dysplasia, or both
- Your hip pain has lasted at least 3 months and didn’t improve with non-surgical treatment
- Your exam and scans suggest hip impingement and/or reduced hip movement
- Your X-rays and 3D CT show enough joint space (greater than 3 mm on all views)
- Your hip surgery (hip arthroscopy) is planned by the study’s main doctor

This trial looks at how well hip-preserving surgery works for people who need hip surgery. It may help your care team understand what outcomes to expect after this type of operation.
This study tests a new way to position patients during hip keyhole surgery to reduce injury to the groin area from pulling. If you are having hip arthroscopy for a condition called femoroacetabular impingement, this trial might help make your recovery smoother.
This study helps doctors make better decisions about treating femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS)—a hip condition where bone shapes prevent normal movement. Researchers will use imaging and movement tests to understand which patients benefit most from physical therapy or other treatments.
This study measures how your hip moves (the “mechanics”) using clinical exams and imaging. It may help researchers understand hip movement problems in femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) before major joint damage develops.
This study follows people before and after hip arthroscopy to treat femoroacetabular impingement (a condition where the hip bones pinch together). It measures strength, mobility, and daily function to see how recovery progresses over 6 months.
This study compares hip positioning (acetabular angle) with pelvic tilt in people with femoro-acetabular impingement and in healthy volunteers. It may help researchers better understand hip mechanics and how they relate to symptoms and planning for arthroscopy surgery.
