Knotless implants for hip capsule closure study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests a new knotless device for closing the hip capsule during hip arthroscopy. It may help patients heal better after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having a first-time hip arthroscopy.
- You are under 60 years old.
- Your surgeon will use the Arthrex LoopLoc device for capsule closure.
- You have not had any past hip surgery.
- Your hip socket angle is between 25 and 40 degrees.
- You do not have severe cartilage damage (grade 3 or higher).

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 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 compares two types of stitches (absorbable vs. non-absorbable) used to close the hip capsule during hip arthroscopy, to see if one leads to better recovery. If you need hip arthroscopy for a hip problem, you may be able to join.
This trial compares two common surgical fixes for hip impingement: repairing the torn cartilage (labrum) or rebuilding it using a piece of tissue. If you've tried non-surgical treatments without relief, this study could help find the best option for your pain and function.
This study follows people who had a particular bipolar hip implant (RingLoc cup and/or Endo II head) placed during a hemi-hip replacement surgery at least 8 years ago. It checks how well the implants keep working over time and why.
This trial looks at how well hip-preserving surgery works for people who need hip surgery. It may help your care team understand what outcomes to expect after this type of operation.
