Comparing keeping vs removing the labrum in hip replacement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You have hip osteoarthritis that needs a hip replacement.
- You have not had any prior surgery on the same hip.
- You do not have an active infection or inflammatory arthritis in the hip.
- You do not have severe bone loss or deformity in the hip that needs complex implants.
- You are not planning to have both hips replaced at the same time.

This trial compares two ways of securing the artificial hip joint during a hip replacement: one uses bone cement, the other doesn't. The goal is to see which method causes less blood loss during surgery, which might lead to a smoother recovery.
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.
This trial compares two different surgical approaches for total hip replacement: the direct superior approach and the posterolateral approach. It aims to see which one leads to better recovery and outcomes for people with severe hip arthritis.
This study compares two different surgical approaches for total hip replacement in people with hip osteoarthritis. Both approaches are standard, and the study looks to see if one leads to better recovery and long-term outcomes.
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 tests whether adding platelet-rich plasma (a blood concentrate), platelet-poor plasma, or bone marrow concentrate during hip surgery helps people with a torn labrum recover better. If you need hip arthroscopy and haven't had prior hip surgery, you may be able to join.
