Comparing two types of hip replacement for arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have hip arthritis and your doctor recommends hip replacement surgery
- Your surgeon thinks you could have either type of hip replacement
- You are willing to fill out questionnaires, have X-rays, link your medical records, and wear an activity monitor
- You do not have severe hip deformities or bone problems that would prevent the surgery
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 40 or lower

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 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 trial tests how well a type of hip replacement called a dual mobility cup holds up over time, focusing on early signs of wear in the plastic liner. It aims to see if this implant lasts longer and works better for people with hip arthritis or other hip conditions.
This trial compares two different hip implant designs in people ages 40–65 with primary hip osteoarthritis. It looks at how well the hip works afterward—especially function and everyday results.
This study compares three types of hip replacement surgery (total hip, Minihip, and RSA) using 3D imaging to see which one best restores normal hip function. It might be a good fit if you are planning one of these surgeries and have a healthy other hip.
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.
