Collecting stem cells from hip replacement bone
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at whether stem cells can be taken from the part of the hip bone that is removed during a hip replacement surgery. This helps researchers study stem cells and could lead to better treatments in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You cannot have been diagnosed with bone cancer.
- You cannot have rheumatoid arthritis.
- You cannot have a blood condition such as leukemia or lymphoma.
- You cannot have avascular necrosis of the hip.

This study is testing a new way to repair the damaged bone in your hip by using your own bone marrow stem cells. You may be a candidate if you have femoral head necrosis (hip bone death) that did not get better with standard treatments and you are otherwise healthy enough for surgery.
This study collects and stores biological samples to help researchers better understand muscle and bone problems like osteoarthritis, bone tumors, and infected joint implants. If you are eligible, your samples may support future research that could lead to better prevention or treatments.
This study collects small cell samples from certain body tissues during planned orthopedic surgeries. The researchers will study these cells to understand their potential use in future treatments and to see if using them is safe and helpful.
This study is testing a new hip replacement system (Spartan, World Cup, and World Liner) in people who need their first hip replacement due to arthritis or similar conditions. It aims to see how well the implant works and how safe it is over time.
This study collects tissue from children having surgery for polydactyly or hip dislocation, so researchers can develop new treatments for muscle and bone problems.
This trial follows people who have had a hip replacement using a specific “Taperloc Complete” stem. It is meant to monitor outcomes after surgery and see how well the stem performs over time for certain non-infectious hip problems.
