How Hip Replacement Changes Knee Position and Function
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study examines whether getting a hip replacement changes how your knee aligns and functions. Researchers will compare knee imaging before and after your surgery to understand this connection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need a hip replacement scheduled for hip arthritis (osteoarthritis) on one side only
- You must be able to understand and sign a consent form
- You must be willing to have X-rays taken before surgery and at follow-up visits
- You cannot have had previous surgery on the hip or knee being studied
- You cannot have a neuromuscular disorder (like cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy) affecting how you walk or stand

This study looks at how the alignment of your spine relates to your walking and posture after hip or knee replacement surgery for wear-and-tear arthritis. It may help doctors better understand how to monitor recovery and long-term function.
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.
This study involves people with hip osteoarthritis who are planning a first total hip replacement. It tests a “pre-op modelling” approach—likely helping plan care around surgery—to see if it improves how patients do.
This study measures how well you walk and sense your knee position before and after knee replacement surgery. It aims to understand how the surgery improves your movement and daily function.
This study tests a new CT scan method to see how well your hip replacement implant stays in place over time. It may help doctors improve surgery for people with severe hip pain or disability.
This study compares two different surgical techniques for total knee replacement to see which one leads to better knee movement and function. If you need a knee replacement due to arthritis, this trial may help find the best approach for your surgery.
