Comparing two types of stitches for hip surgery closure
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You need to have a hip problem that requires arthroscopic surgery (a type of keyhole surgery).
- You must be medically cleared for anesthesia and surgery.
- You must be able to understand and sign a consent form.

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.
This study tests a new way to position patients during hip keyhole surgery to reduce injury to the groin area from pulling. If you are having hip arthroscopy for a condition called femoroacetabular impingement, this trial might help make your recovery smoother.
This trial studies how the hip moves and works after hip arthroscopy (a keyhole surgery to fix a torn labrum). It aims to help athletes like you return to sport safely.
This study tests a new knotless device for closing the hip capsule during hip arthroscopy. It may help patients heal better after surgery.
This pilot study tests two different surgical approaches to repair a torn or damaged labrum (cartilage ring) in the hip joint for patients over 40. Both approaches are done through minimally invasive hip arthroscopy, and the trial will help doctors understand which method works better and whether a larger study is feasible.
This study compares two methods of closing the surgical cut after a hip or knee replacement: using barbed sutures with skin glue versus another standard method. It aims to see which method leads to better healing and fewer complications.
