New hip implant aims to stop joints from popping out after repeat surgery
NCT ID NCT04090359
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of hip implants in people who need a repeat hip replacement (revision). One implant has a special 'dual mobility' design meant to lower the risk of the hip dislocating. About 322 adults will be randomly assigned to get either the dual mobility implant or a standard single-bearing implant. The main goal is to see which group has fewer dislocations in the first year after surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Dual mobility acetabular cup implant
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a better option for people needing repeat hip replacement, reducing the chance of the new joint popping out of place.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small, early-phase trial comparing two device types. Results may not apply to all patients, and there are standard surgical risks like infection or implant loosening.
