Hip replacement surgery: comparing two ways to fix the implant
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of securing the artificial hip joint during a hip replacement: one uses bone cement, the other doesn't. The goal is to see which method causes less blood loss during surgery, which might lead to a smoother recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to have a total hip replacement (arthroplasty).
- You must not have had any previous surgery on the same hip.
- You must not have anemia (low red blood cell count) before the operation.
- You must not have a broken hip (femoral neck fracture).
- You must not be allergic to, or have a condition that prevents you from taking, tranexamic acid.
- You must not be pregnant or breastfeeding.

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 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.
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 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.
This study reviews results from hip replacement surgery using a special short implant inserted through a small front-of-hip incision. Researchers want to understand how well this approach works and how long the implant lasts.
This trial compares a new hip implant (H1) to a standard total hip replacement. It is for people who need hip replacement on one side due to arthritis or other hip conditions and can commit to long-term follow-up.
