New hip implant tested for safer fracture repair
NCT ID NCT06885359
First seen Jul 07, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how well a specific hip implant (CoCrMo LOCK bipolar femoral head) works for people who have had a hip fracture. Researchers will check how many patients need a second surgery or experience complications like dislocation within two years. The study includes 60 adults who received this implant starting in 2023 and who could walk before their fracture.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- CoCrMo LOCK bipolar femoral head (hip implant)
- What this could lead to
- If the implant performs well, it could confirm a safe and effective option for hip fracture repair, reducing the need for repeat surgeries.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, observational study with no comparison group, so results may not apply to all patients. Implants can still fail or cause complications like dislocation or infection.

Inclusion Criteria: * Displaced intracapsular hip fracture (Garden III-IV). * Subjects underwent a Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty with a CoCrMo LOCK Bipolar femoral head as per their Indication For Use from January 1st, 2023, onwards. * No concurrent joint disease at the time of the surgery. * Absence of severe cognitive dysfunction demonstrated by 3 or more correct answers on the Pfeiffer test. * Ability to ambulate independently with or without walking aids before surgery. * Subject willingness to participate. Exclusion Criteria: * Undisplaced or minimally displaced intracapsular hip fracture (Garden I-II). * Any CoCrMo LOCK Bipolar femoral head contraindication for use as reported in the current Instruction For Use. * Pathological fracture secondary to malignant disease. * Subjects with rheumatoid arthritis or symptomatic osteoarthritis. * Previous treatment to the same hip for a fracture at the time of the surgery. * Subjects who were deemed unsuitable for the surgical procedures by the anesthesiologist. * Severe cognitive dysfunction or cognitive impairment demonstrated by 2 or less correct answers on the Pfeiffer test. * Unable to walk before surgery (e.g., wheelchair or bed-ridden subjects).
