Can vitamin e make your hip replacement last longer?
NCT ID NCT01713062
Summary
This study is comparing two different plastic liners used in hip replacement surgery. One liner has Vitamin E added to it, while the other is a standard version. Researchers want to see if the Vitamin E liner lasts longer, wears down less, and causes fewer problems with the surrounding bone over many years. The study involves 400 people who need a hip replacement due to arthritis.
