Wear particle study in revision hip replacement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at tiny plastic particles that wear off from artificial hip joints over time. Researchers will study these particles from tissue taken during revision hip replacement surgery to understand how they affect the body.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have a revision hip replacement surgery (replacing an older artificial hip).
- You are 20 years old or older.
- You have given your written consent to take part in the study.
- Your first total hip replacement was at least 2 years ago.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how well hip or knee replacements work. If you are already scheduled for a replacement or a revision (a second replacement), you may be able to join.
This study checks whether a hip replacement part that looks stable on X-rays before surgery is actually stable during the revision operation. It aims to improve how doctors decide which parts to replace or keep.
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 study looks for tiny markers in your blood and tissue that can tell whether a hip replacement is failing because of infection or another reason. By taking extra samples during your planned revision surgery, researchers hope to improve how infections are diagnosed in the future.
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 how well a type of hip replacement called a dual mobility cup holds up over time, focusing on early signs of wear in the plastic liner. It aims to see if this implant lasts longer and works better for people with hip arthritis or other hip conditions.
