CT-planned testing to improve hip fracture and replacement care
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Be having a first (primary) hip replacement
- Sign informed consent to take part in the study
- Have a routine CT scan before your surgery
- The study is about your hip bone being the main focus

This study looks at people with osteoporotic hip fractures (breaks in the femur near the hip) and evaluates their care and outcomes. It may help improve how hip fractures are treated in people whose bones are weaker due to osteoporosis.
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.
This study looks at how well a new hip replacement implant stays in place over time using special CT scans. It may help doctors understand how to make hip replacements last longer.
This study uses a special weight-bearing CT scan to look at how your new knee replacement and the bone around it heal after surgery to fix a broken bone just above the knee. It may help doctors understand how well the repair holds up when you put weight on it.
This trial tests a computer-assisted navigation system that helps doctors place screws more accurately during surgery for a broken hip (femoral neck fracture). The goal is to improve surgical precision and outcomes, which may help you heal better after your surgery.
This study is checking how well a specific type of partial hip replacement (a metal ball used in hip surgery) holds up over time in people who had a certain kind of hip fracture. If you've already had this surgery, joining the study means you'll be followed to see how your hip is doing.
