NCT ID NCT03680443
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 62 patients who had a hip replacement revision using a special cup (dual-mobility) cemented into a metal ring. The goal was to see if this method prevents the implant from loosening or dislocating. Patients were followed for at least 5 years 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 cemented in a metal reinforcement
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could offer a reliable way to prevent dislocation and loosening after hip replacement revision surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center, retrospective study with no comparison group, so results may not apply to all patients. Long-term risks like implant wear or infection remain possible.
