Muscle damage in front hip replacement
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how much the tensor fascia latae muscle (a muscle on the side of your hip) gets damaged during a hip replacement using the front (anterior) approach. It may help doctors understand how to reduce muscle injury, which could lead to better recovery after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You are having a first total hip replacement for hip arthritis (osteoarthritis)
- You do not have hip dysplasia (a misaligned hip joint)
- Your leg lengths are not more than 2 cm different
- You have not had surgery on that same hip before
- You do not have a muscle or nerve condition that affects movement

This study looks at whether the kind of hip surgery approach affects how much limping remains after a total hip replacement. You may benefit by helping researchers find the approach that leads to better walking after surgery.
This study looks at how people move and return to sports after total hip replacement surgery. If you are an active person planning to have a hip replacement, this trial may help understand your recovery.
This study checks how safe and how well specific hip replacement implants work after hip replacement surgery. You might be eligible if your surgeon plans to use an ATF Implants and/or Lapé Médical prosthesis and you don’t have certain health issues that can make surgery riskier.
This trial looks at how muscle health affects your ability to get back to normal activities after hip replacement surgery for a broken hip or severe arthritis. By using MRI scans and other tests, researchers hope to understand if having less muscle makes recovery harder.
This study compares two different surgical techniques for total hip replacement using an anterior approach. The goal is to see if saving the small blood vessels around the hip during surgery leads to a better recovery for patients.
This trial looks at treating a specific hip muscle-tendon problem (gluteus medius insufficiency) after total hip replacement. It may help people who have had ongoing limping despite surgery by using an Achilles tendon–based approach.
