Testosterone therapy around hip surgery for hip impingement
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether giving testosterone around the time of hip surgery helps improve recovery in men with low testosterone levels, hip impingement, and a labral tear. The goal is to see if it helps with healing and getting back to normal activity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be a male aged 18 or older.
- Have a hip condition called femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) with a torn labrum (the cartilage that cushions the hip).
- Have low testosterone (a blood test will be done to check).
- Not have had prior surgery on the affected hip or spine.
- Not have certain health issues like prostate cancer, breast cancer, or poorly controlled diabetes.

This study tests whether rotating the leg during hip arthroscopy improves outcomes for people with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), a condition where extra bone on the hip causes pain and limited movement. It aims to see if this rotation technique reduces pain and improves function better than standard surgery.
This study measures how your hip moves (the “mechanics”) using clinical exams and imaging. It may help researchers understand hip movement problems in femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) before major joint damage develops.
This study tests whether adding platelet-rich plasma (a blood concentrate), platelet-poor plasma, or bone marrow concentrate during hip surgery helps people with a torn labrum recover better. If you need hip arthroscopy and haven't had prior hip surgery, you may be able to join.
This study compares hip positioning (acetabular angle) with pelvic tilt in people with femoro-acetabular impingement and in healthy volunteers. It may help researchers better understand hip mechanics and how they relate to symptoms and planning for arthroscopy surgery.
This trial tests whether a program of education plus exercise can reduce long-term hip or groin pain. It may help by improving movement and function, especially when pain has lasted more than 3 months.
This study gives men who are having a hip replacement a testosterone treatment around the time of surgery to see if it helps with recovery and overall outcomes. It aims to improve muscle strength and function after the operation.
