Hip arthroscopy for femoral head fractures
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a Pipkin 1 fracture of the femoral head (the ball part of your hip joint).
- You do not have any other fractures in your pelvis.
- You are healthy enough to have surgery.
- You seek treatment within 2 weeks of your injury.

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.
This study compares two treatments for certain small, stable hip fractures in older adults: using hip screws versus replacing part or all of the hip. It may help find which option works best for healing and returning to movement.
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 compares an intramedullary nail versus a hip replacement for unstable hip fractures. It may help guide which operation works best to restore walking and function after injury.
This study is for people with a certain type of hip fracture who received a specific hip replacement part. The goal is to see how well the new part works over time.
This trial studies a specific way of fixing certain hip (upper thigh) fractures using a metal nail with locking screws. It may help improve how well fractures heal and how stable the repair is.
