What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 study records hip replacement surgeries performed through a front-of-hip approach, breaking down each step to create a standard surgical model. Researchers will analyze videos from multiple hospitals to identify common patterns and variations. The goal is to improve surgical training and consistency, not to test a new drug or device.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help train surgeons more effectively and make hip replacement surgeries safer and more consistent.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study focused on modeling, not testing a new treatment. It may not directly improve patient outcomes.

Study facts

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

Participants

About 60 people

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

Started

Oct 2024

Expected to finish

Dec 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.

Who is studied

We plan to record 60 THA surgeries in the operating room performed by different hip surgeons at Balgrist University Hospital, Kantonsspital Baden, or Kantonsspital Winterthur, for data collection. Patients are recruited if they fit the in-/exclusion criteria and get primary information from the surgeon as soon as the decision for surgery has been made in the outpatient clinic. The patients are handed a copy of the informed consent and can decide on participating until the follow-up consultation. The decision to perform the procedure is not linked to the study. The decision to participate does not affect the procedure itself.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

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