Checking hip replacement stability before revision surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study checks whether a hip replacement part that looks stable on X-rays before surgery is actually stable during the revision operation. It aims to improve how doctors decide which parts to replace or keep.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for hip revision surgery because one part of your hip replacement has become loose.
- The other part of your hip replacement shows no clear signs of being loose on X-rays.
- Your X-rays were taken within the last 8 weeks before surgery.

This study compares two types of hip replacement cups (the socket part of the new hip) to see if one works better than the other. It may help older adults with hip arthritis who need hip replacement surgery.
This study follows people getting a first-time hip replacement to see how a specific new hip “cup” (socket part) performs in real-world care. It may help improve future hip replacement choices, especially for patients who fit the study’s surgical and follow-up requirements.
This study looks at whether cementing the socket (cup) during a hip revision lowers the chance of needing another revision later. It compares different types of hip revision to see which ones last longer.
This study looks at how well a new hip replacement implant stays in place over time using special CT scans. It may help doctors understand how to make hip replacements last longer.
This trial studies a specific kind of hip socket (a dual-mobility cup) used during revision hip replacement surgery. It may help improve hip stability and reduce the chance of dislocation when surgeons redo or convert a previous hip implant.
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.
