Hip replacement study using advanced imaging to check implant fit
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to be 21 years or older.
- You must be having a hip replacement on one side only (not both at the same time).
- Your hip pain should be severe enough that surgery is needed, due to conditions like arthritis or injury.
- You must be able to attend follow-up visits and fill out questionnaires.
- You should not have had a hip replacement on the other side within the last 6 months, and you should not be planning one in the next 6 months.
- You must not have active infections, poor bone quality, or other conditions that could affect healing.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new way of tracking how well hip replacements settle in over time using special X-ray images. It is for adults who need a first-time total hip replacement due to conditions like arthritis, injury, or hip deformity.
This study compares two types of hip replacement surgery: a newer option that preserves more bone (ceramic hip resurfacing) and a standard total hip replacement. Participants will wear a small activity monitor to see how their activity levels change after surgery, which may help doctors understand which procedure leads to a more active recovery.
This study checks how well a specific hip replacement bearing surface (called dual mobility with Vivacit-E or Longevity) performs over time in real-world patients. It may help people by tracking long-term safety and performance to guide better hip replacement choices.
This trial studies a specific hip replacement implant system in people whose hip pain is from worn-out (non-inflammatory) joint disease like osteoarthritis. It compares outcomes by tracking pain and function before and after surgery, and you must be able to return for follow-up visits.
This trial looks at how safe and well a specific “reverse” hip implant works in people who need their first total hip replacement. It may help by improving pain and hip function, while closely tracking safety during and after surgery.
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.
