Study of hip arthritis types during hip replacement surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at differences inside the hip joint and in body cells when people have hip arthritis or rheumatoid arthritis and receive a hip replacement. Researchers hope this can improve understanding and future treatments for these conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re an adult (age 18 to 74) who will have a total hip replacement surgery
- For the arthritis group: you have osteoarthritis in the hip and the surgery is planned (elective)
- For the control group: you do not have arthritis, and your hip replacement is due to a trauma/emergency
- Your body mass index (BMI) must be below 35
- If you’re in the osteoarthritis group: you must not have diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or metabolic syndrome (a cluster of health issues)
- If you’re in the rheumatoid arthritis sub-study: you must have rheumatoid arthritis in the hip, and avoid the same limits (BMI, age, and the other excluded conditions) except rheumatoid arthritis can be present

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.
This study looks at why osteoarthritis happens in the hip and knee by studying tissue samples taken during joint replacement surgery. If you are already scheduled for a first-time hip or knee replacement and have osteoarthritis, you may be able to join.
This study compares two different surgical approaches for total hip replacement in people with hip osteoarthritis. Both approaches are standard, and the study looks to see if one leads to better recovery and long-term outcomes.
This study compares two types of hip replacement surgery: a newer option that preserves more bone (ceramic hip resurfacing) and a standard total hip replacement. Participants will wear a small activity monitor to see how their activity levels change after surgery, which may help doctors understand which procedure leads to a more active recovery.
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.
This study follows people waiting for hip or knee replacement surgery due to osteoarthritis. It helps researchers understand how to better support patients during the wait.
