Comparing surgical retractors in hip replacement surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial compares two surgical tools used during hip replacement surgery to see if one helps recovery more. It may help you if you are having a first hip replacement through the front approach and have no prior hip surgeries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having a first hip replacement on the affected side.
- You have not had any open surgery on that hip before.
- You have not had a hip replacement on the other hip.
- You have no allergies to the standard medications used during hip replacement surgery.
- The surgery is done through the front of the hip (direct anterior approach).

This study compares two types of hip replacement surgery: a newer option that preserves more bone (ceramic hip resurfacing) and a standard total hip replacement. Participants will wear a small activity monitor to see how their activity levels change after surgery, which may help doctors understand which procedure leads to a more active recovery.
This trial tests a new way of tracking how well hip replacements settle in over time using special X-ray images. It is for adults who need a first-time total hip replacement due to conditions like arthritis, injury, or hip deformity.
This trial looks at how safe and well a specific “reverse” hip implant works in people who need their first total hip replacement. It may help by improving pain and hip function, while closely tracking safety during and after surgery.
This trial compares two different surgical approaches for total hip replacement: the direct superior approach and the posterolateral approach. It aims to see which one leads to better recovery and outcomes for people with severe hip arthritis.
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 study compares two different surgical approaches for total hip replacement in people with hip osteoarthritis. Both approaches are standard, and the study looks to see if one leads to better recovery and long-term outcomes.
