Hydrogel coating to lower infection after hip replacement surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a special hydrogel coating on a hip implant can reduce infections after hip revision surgery. If it works, it could help you heal with fewer post-surgery infection problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study checks how well a specific hip replacement bearing surface (called dual mobility with Vivacit-E or Longevity) performs over time in real-world patients. It may help people by tracking long-term safety and performance to guide better hip replacement choices.
This trial studies a specific hip replacement implant system in people whose hip pain is from worn-out (non-inflammatory) joint disease like osteoarthritis. It compares outcomes by tracking pain and function before and after surgery, and you must be able to return for follow-up visits.
This trial tests a new silver-coated hip implant for people who need a revision due to a chronic infection around the joint. It may help control the infection while replacing the implant.
This study is testing three different hip implants (Everglade Stem, World Cup, and World Liner) to see how well they work in people needing a hip replacement. It aims to help patients with hip arthritis or other joint damage get back to their daily activities.
This study compares a new waterproof silicone gel bandage with a regular dressing to see which helps incisions heal better after total hip or knee replacement. If you are having your first joint replacement surgery, this trial may help improve your recovery.
This study is testing a new hip replacement system (Spartan, World Cup, and World Liner) in people who need their first hip replacement due to arthritis or similar conditions. It aims to see how well the implant works and how safe it is over time.
