New hip insertion method for older adults
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at a new way of inserting the hip joint during replacement surgery for people aged 70 and older. It aims to see if this technique helps improve how the new hip fits and works.

This study is checking how well a specific type of partial hip replacement (a metal ball used in hip surgery) holds up over time in people who had a certain kind of hip fracture. If you've already had this surgery, joining the study means you'll be followed to see how your hip is doing.
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 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 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 trial tests whether an automated surgical tool is better than a manual one for putting in hip replacement parts. If you are having a planned first-time hip replacement and are over 18, you might be able to join.
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.
