What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial tests whether using a navigation system during hip replacement surgery leads to more accurate joint reconstruction than the traditional measured technique. Researchers will compare the surgeon's pre-operative 3-D plan with the actual post-operative result in 100 patients with hip osteoarthritis. The study also tracks patient-reported outcomes like pain, mobility, and quality of life to see if accuracy translates into better recovery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Two surgical techniques for hip replacement: a measured technique using manual checks, and a navigated technique using the IntelliJoint® navigation system.
What this could lead to
If one technique proves more accurate, it could become the preferred method for hip replacement surgery, leading to better pain relief and mobility for patients.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center trial with 100 participants, so results may not apply to all patients or surgeons. Both techniques are already in use, but the study may not find a clear winner.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 100 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Jan 2024

Expected to finish

Nov 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

Children (under 18), adults (18 to 64) and older adults (65 and over)

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients who are signed for a THA for primary or secondary osteoarthritis without overt deformity that would require revision type implants and with good enough bone quality to be listed for uncemented component implantation. Exclusion Criteria: * Secondary OA due to Dysplasia (Hartofilakidis \>1) * Avascular necrosis of the hip with destruction of joint structure * Sequelae of Pediatric deformity with abnormal anatomy * Cemented fixation of femur or acetabulum * Previous arthroplasty-type procedure * Previous septic arthritis of the hip
