Study of osteoarthritis in hip and knee replacement patients
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at why osteoarthritis happens in the hip and knee by studying tissue samples taken during joint replacement surgery. If you are already scheduled for a first-time hip or knee replacement and have osteoarthritis, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
