Waiting for hip or knee replacement study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have 'osteoarthritis' (the common wear-and-tear type) in your hip or knee.
- You have not had a hip or knee replacement on that same side before.
- You can speak and understand English well enough to take part without an interpreter.
- You are willing and able to come back for follow-up appointments.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial is for adults having their first knee replacement surgery. It tests a special part (tibial extension) of a common knee implant system. Researchers will follow participants over time to see how well it works.
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 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 tests a new way to collect how people with knee osteoarthritis feel and function after usual care (like injections, nerve-blocking procedures, or knee replacement). It may help improve future treatment decisions by using your regular follow-up reports in an app or online.
This study tests a new CT scan method to see how well your hip replacement implant stays in place over time. It may help doctors improve surgery for people with severe hip pain or disability.
