Hip replacement surgery technique for older adults
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial studies a specific way of preparing the hip bone during hip replacement surgery in adults 70 and older. The method may help the new hip fit more securely, which can improve recovery and reduce complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 70 years old or older.
- You are scheduled to have a total hip replacement.
- You are able to give consent to participate.

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 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 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 trial compares two types of hip replacement implants: a dual-mobility cup versus a standard (unipolar) cup. It may help older adults with hip arthritis get a hip implant choice that improves stability and lowers problems after surgery.
This study tests a prehabilitation program (exercises before surgery) for older adults waiting for a total hip replacement. The goal is to see if strengthening before surgery helps recovery afterward. It is for people with severe hip arthritis who are otherwise in good health.
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.
