Hip implants under the microscope: 8-Year Follow-Up study launched
NCT ID NCT05199870
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is checking the long-term safety and performance of two hip implant devices (RingLoc Bipolar Acetabular Cup and Endo II Femoral Head) used in hip replacement surgery. Researchers will follow 116 patients who had their surgery at least eight years ago, tracking complications, revisions, and patient-reported outcomes like pain and mobility. The goal is to confirm these implants continue to work well over time.
