3D printed implant for hip dysplasia pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a new treatment for adults with hip dysplasia (a shallow hip socket) using a custom 3D-printed implant to reshape the socket. It's for people with groin pain or trouble walking who haven't had previous hip surgery after age 10 and have minimal arthritis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Adults aged 18 to 45 with hip dysplasia (shallow hip socket)
- Groin pain or walking problems not explained by another hip issue
- No or only very mild arthritis on X-ray
- Body mass index (BMI) under 35
- No metal (titanium) allergy

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares a structured exercise and patient education program with standard care in people with hip dysplasia. It may help improve hip and groin pain and function, especially if you are not getting the usual surgery (periacetabular osteotomy, or PAO).
This study compares periacetabular osteotomy alone versus adding arthroscopy (a camera procedure inside the hip) to address cartilage/labrum problems in the hip’s center compartment. It aims to see which approach better improves symptoms and recovery for people with hip instability due to acetabular dysplasia.
This trial looks at whether doing hip arthroscopy at the same time as periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is safe and helpful for people with hip dysplasia. It may matter for improving hip joint outcomes while your surgeon corrects bone alignment.
This study compares three types of hip replacement surgery (total hip, Minihip, and RSA) using 3D imaging to see which one best restores normal hip function. It might be a good fit if you are planning one of these surgeries and have a healthy other hip.
This trial studies a specific type of 3D metal cup used during hip replacement surgery. It aims to see how well it works over time in people who need a first (primary) total hip replacement.
This study tests whether using 3D-printed models from scans can help plan hip preservation surgery for people with a specific hip shape problem (cam-type femoroacetabular impingement). It may help surgeons plan more precisely, though you would only be eligible if your hip damage and other health factors fit specific limits.
