NCT ID NCT00611585
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at the long-term safety and effectiveness of the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing System, a metal hip implant, in 329 adults with arthritis. The main goal was to see how many patients needed a revision (replacement or removal) within 10 years. The study also measured hip function and pain using the Harris Hip Score. Results help confirm the device's performance in real-world use.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Birmingham Hip Resurfacing System (a metal-on-metal hip implant device)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could confirm that the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing System is a safe and effective long-term option for hip arthritis, potentially delaying or avoiding the need for a total hip replacement.
What could go wrong
This is a post-approval study, not a new breakthrough. The device has known risks like metal wear, implant loosening, or need for revision surgery. Results may not apply to all patients.
