Hip replacement methods and leg length difference
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to perform hip replacement to see which one helps reduce leg length differences after surgery. The findings could help people with severe arthritis get better alignment and feel more comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a new way of tracking how well hip replacements settle in over time using special X-ray images. It is for adults who need a first-time total hip replacement due to conditions like arthritis, injury, or hip deformity.
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 tests a new CT scan method to see how well your hip replacement implant stays in place over time. It may help doctors improve surgery for people with severe hip pain or disability.
This study reviews results from hip replacement surgery using a special short implant inserted through a small front-of-hip incision. Researchers want to understand how well this approach works and how long the implant lasts.
This study compares three types of hip replacement surgery (total hip, Minihip, and RSA) using 3D imaging to see which one best restores normal hip function. It might be a good fit if you are planning one of these surgeries and have a healthy other hip.
This trial compares two different surgical approaches for total hip replacement: the direct superior approach and the posterolateral approach. It aims to see which one leads to better recovery and outcomes for people with severe hip arthritis.
