This study checks whether the special plastic coupling piece in a MUTARS knee replacement releases fewer metal ions into your blood than older metal-on-metal designs. It will help doctors understand if this new part is safer for patients.
This is an observational study that collects information from people using MED-EL hearing devices (with or without an implant) to better understand real-world hearing care. It may help improve future planning, support, and device use for patients like you.
This study looks at outcomes after a primary knee replacement using the GMK Sphere TiNb implant. It may help researchers learn how well this specific implant works and how patients do over time.
This trial tests a new 3D-printed metal hip implant for people who need a first-time hip replacement. It aims to see how well the implant works and helps you recover.
This study follows people who get a specific hip socket implant (the Mpact 3D Metal MonoCER) after total hip replacement. It’s mainly to monitor how the device is working in real-world use.
This trial studies how much metal can build up in the body and in the blood in children and teens who will receive certain metal implants during surgery. It may help doctors better understand potential metal exposure and how to monitor it.
