Comparing hip labrum repair versus reconstruction surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial compares two common surgical fixes for hip impingement: repairing the torn cartilage (labrum) or rebuilding it using a piece of tissue. If you've tried non-surgical treatments without relief, this study could help find the best option for your pain and function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have hip impingement (a bone shape issue that causes pinching and pain in the hip).
- You've already tried non-surgical treatments like physical therapy or medication, but they didn't help enough.
- You don't have moderate or severe arthritis in the hip.
- You haven't had surgery on that hip before.
- You don't have an active infection, significant muscle weakness, or major medical problems that could affect surgery.
- You are not a current smoker, and you can commit to being followed for 2 years.

This study looks at how different patient factors affect recovery from hip impingement syndrome after physiotherapy. It aims to find out who might have better or worse outcomes, helping doctors tailor treatment.
This study compares two ways of fixing a recently broken acetabulum (the hip socket): one method keeps/repairs the socket (ORIF) and the other replaces it (THA). It aims to find which surgery approach leads to better outcomes for people who can have surgery soon after the injury.
This study compares two ways of handling the labrum (a rim of tissue around the hip socket) during a total hip replacement: keeping it or removing it. The goal is to see which approach leads to better outcomes for people with hip osteoarthritis.
This study compares two ways to treat a torn labrum in the hip: one group gets standard hip arthroscopy (keyhole surgery), and the other gets the same surgery plus an injection of your own bone marrow cells to help healing. It aims to see if adding the injection improves pain and function.
This trial looks at how well hip-preserving surgery works for people who need hip surgery. It may help your care team understand what outcomes to expect after this type of operation.
This trial compares two surgical techniques to repair damaged hip cartilage caused by a hip shape problem called femoro-acetabular impingement. Both aim to reduce pain and improve hip function.
