Blood loss comparison in hip replacement surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares blood loss between two types of hip replacement implants: cemented and uncemented. If you need a total hip replacement, this trial may help determine which option might be better for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to have a total hip replacement surgery.
- You have not had any previous surgery on the same hip.
- You do not have anemia before surgery.
- You do not have a broken femoral neck.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You can safely take tranexamic acid (a medicine to reduce bleeding).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study checks how different care during and after joint replacement surgery affects bleeding. It focuses on people having their first hip or knee replacement who received a standard bleeding-control medicine (tranexamic acid).
This trial measures how blood volume and fluids shift in the body during and after hip replacement surgery. It helps doctors better understand fluid management for patients having this procedure.
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 compares two kinds of hip implant stems (one with a collar, one without) to see which works better for patients getting their first total hip replacement. If you are scheduled for a cement-free hip replacement due to arthritis, this trial may be a good fit.
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 study tests whether a medicine called tranexamic acid (TXA), given as a shot into the hip joint or as a soak on the skin, can reduce bleeding during hip replacement surgery. It is for people over 60 who broke their hip from a simple fall and need a cementless hip replacement.
