NCT ID NCT03577522

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compared two types of hip implant stems (Avenir and Corail) in 56 people with hip osteoarthritis who needed a hip replacement. Researchers used special X-ray techniques to measure how well the implants stayed in place over two years. The goal was to see if the newer Avenir stem works as well as or better than the older Corail stem.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Avenir cementless hip stem and Corail HA-coated hip stem

What this could lead to

If one stem proves better, it could improve hip replacement outcomes and implant longevity for osteoarthritis patients.

What could go wrong

This is a small, completed study with only 56 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Both stems are already in use, so no breakthrough is expected.
