Comparing two ways to do hip replacement surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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 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.
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.
