How a new hip implant affects bone density
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how a new hip stem (the part that fits into your thigh bone) affects bone density after a hip replacement. You would get the CoreHip® system, and the study uses DEXA scans to check the bone density around the implant over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have osteoarthritis (arthritis) in just one hip.
- You are between 35 and 85 years old.
- You have not had surgery or a fracture on the same hip before.
- You do not have a metabolic bone disease (like osteoporosis) and are not taking steroids or other bone-affecting drugs.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 35 or lower.
- You are willing and able to attend follow-up visits.

This study looks at how well a newer type of hip replacement stem (called the Actis stem) works for people having their first hip replacement. It aims to see if this stem provides good outcomes for various hip conditions.
This is an observational study that follows people over time after hip hemiarthroplasty (a partial hip replacement). It aims to understand how well Corin hip devices work long-term in everyday care, and what outcomes to expect.
This trial compares a new hip implant (H1) to a standard total hip replacement. It is for people who need hip replacement on one side due to arthritis or other hip conditions and can commit to long-term follow-up.
This study compares hip implant “migration” (how the implant may slowly shift) when a cemented hip cup is used with different cement approaches. It may help surgeons choose the option that keeps the implant more stable over time.
This trial looks at how safe and well a specific “reverse” hip implant works in people who need their first total hip replacement. It may help by improving pain and hip function, while closely tracking safety during and after surgery.
This study looks at how bone density around a new knee replacement changes over time, comparing two different types of knee implants. It may help your surgeon choose the best option for you.
