New hip cup design aims to stop common complication in elderly fracture patients
NCT ID NCT03909815
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a special type of hip implant (dual mobility cup) can prevent the hip from popping out of place after a total hip replacement for a broken hip. The trial involved 1,600 elderly patients with a specific type of hip fracture. Researchers compared the dual mobility cup to standard cups to see which one led to fewer dislocations within one year after surgery.
