How Hip Replacement Changes Knee Position and Function
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma 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 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 trial tests a new way to plan hip replacement surgery using a CT scan. It may help doctors place the new hip more accurately, which could lead to better outcomes.
This study looks at how well hip replacements last over the long term in people who had prior surgery for hip dysplasia. It aims to see how the earlier corrective surgery affects the success and survival of the later hip replacement.
This study looks at how well a new hip replacement implant stays in place over time using special CT scans. It may help doctors understand how to make hip replacements last longer.
This study looks at different ways to position your knee after knee replacement surgery to see which helps you recover and move better. It may help improve your pain and how well you can use your new knee.
