Endoscopic surgery for hip socket fractures
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a minimally invasive, endoscopic (camera-guided) surgery to fix fractures of the hip socket (acetabulum). It may help people with this type of hip fracture recover with less pain and shorter hospital stays.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a fracture in the socket part of your hip joint (acetabulum).
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have not had any previous surgery in your lower belly or groin area.

This trial studies whether it’s safe and helpful to start putting weight on the leg after surgery for a broken hip socket. It compares two different early walking (mobilisation) plans to see which leads to better recovery.
This study looks at how to best surgically fix unstable pelvic and acetabular (hip socket) fractures, comparing different operative approaches. You might benefit if your goal is stable healing with a less invasive internal fixation method, but the study requires specific fracture types and long follow-up time.
This study compares two ways to fix a specific type of hip socket fracture (posterior wall fracture) using a rim plate or a buttress plate, with or without extra screws. It aims to find the best approach for healing.
This study compares two ways of fixing a recently broken acetabulum (the hip socket): one method keeps/repairs the socket (ORIF) and the other replaces it (THA). It aims to find which surgery approach leads to better outcomes for people who can have surgery soon after the injury.
This trial explores whether a minimally invasive hip surgery (hip arthroscopy) can help people with a specific type of femoral head fracture called a Pipkin 1 fracture. It aims to see if this approach leads to better recovery than traditional open surgery.
This study is observing people with pelvic ring and acetabular (hip-joint socket) fractures to better understand what happens over time. It may help doctors improve care, even though it does not test a new treatment.
