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.
This study tests two different surgical techniques for hip replacement surgery in people who need a new hip joint. Researchers compare how well each approach works in the short term after surgery.
This trial tests two different ways of aligning the new knee joint during a total knee replacement. It aims to see which method gives better results for patients like you.
This study compares two ways surgeons can perform a total knee replacement to see which one leads to better recovery and function. If you are having a knee replacement for severe arthritis, this trial might help determine the best surgical technique for you.
