Hip replacement surgery: X-ray guidance versus usual hand placement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of guiding hip replacement surgery during the operation. It may help improve how accurately the surgeon places the hip components and how well patients do afterward.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having a first-time (not repeat) hip replacement on one side.
- You will have the surgery using a “direct anterior approach” through the front of the hip.
- You are between 18 and 90 years old.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18 and 35.
- You can sign consent to join the study and understand the plan.

This study looks at how doctors plan and perform hip replacement surgery using a special front approach. It may help improve how the surgery is done.
This trial tests a new way of tracking how well hip replacements settle in over time using special X-ray images. It is for adults who need a first-time total hip replacement due to conditions like arthritis, injury, or hip deformity.
This study involves people with hip osteoarthritis who are planning a first total hip replacement. It tests a “pre-op modelling” approach—likely helping plan care around surgery—to see if it improves how patients do.
This study compares three types of hip replacement surgery (total hip, Minihip, and RSA) using 3D imaging to see which one best restores normal hip function. It might be a good fit if you are planning one of these surgeries and have a healthy other hip.
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 trial looks at how safe and well a specific “reverse” hip implant works in people who need their first total hip replacement. It may help by improving pain and hip function, while closely tracking safety during and after surgery.
