New tool for removing hip implants during revision surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests a special tool that helps surgeons safely remove a well-fixed hip implant during revision surgery. It may make the extraction easier and reduce the risk of damaging the bone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are having your hip replacement revised (redone) because it's infected or loose.
- Your current hip implant is a specific type called a 'blade-type' stem.
- Your implant is not cemented in place and has a trunnion (connection piece) that is 14 mm or smaller.
- Your implant is compatible with the study's extraction system.

This trial compares two surgical tools used during hip replacement surgery to see if one helps recovery more. It may help you if you are having a first hip replacement through the front approach and have no prior hip surgeries.
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 is checking how well a specific hip implant (the Comprehensive Revision Stem) works in people who need hip replacement. It helps make sure the implant is safe and effective over time.
This study is testing three different hip implants (Everglade Stem, World Cup, and World Liner) to see how well they work in people needing a hip replacement. It aims to help patients with hip arthritis or other joint damage get back to their daily activities.
This study tests a hip replacement system that uses a special navigation tool to help the surgeon place the new hip cup more precisely. It may lead to better long-term results and fewer complications.
This trial follows people who have had a hip replacement using a specific “Taperloc Complete” stem. It is meant to monitor outcomes after surgery and see how well the stem performs over time for certain non-infectious hip problems.
