Testosterone therapy before hip surgery for men
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests if giving testosterone before hip arthroscopy (a minimally invasive hip surgery) helps men with low testosterone recover better. It is for men who have a hip impingement problem called FAI with a labral tear.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man aged 18 or older.
- You have femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) with a torn labrum in your hip.
- You have low testosterone (levels under 300 ng/dL).
- You have not had previous surgery on the same hip or spine.
- You do not have certain health issues like prostate cancer, breast cancer, uncontrolled diabetes, or a BMI outside the range of 18 to 40.

This study tests whether changing the rotation of your leg during hip arthroscopy (a keyhole surgery) improves outcomes for people with hip impingement syndrome. It may help you if you have persistent hip pain that hasn't gotten better with other treatments.
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 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 study looks at whether giving testosterone before hip replacement helps men with low testosterone recover better. It may help with muscle strength and healing after surgery.
This study tests a new way to position patients during hip keyhole surgery to reduce injury to the groin area from pulling. If you are having hip arthroscopy for a condition called femoroacetabular impingement, this trial might help make your recovery smoother.
This trial tests whether injecting a concentrated sample of your own bone marrow during hip arthroscopy improves recovery for people with femoroacetabular impingement (a hip condition where bones rub). It compares outcomes to standard care alone.
