Which hip implant lasts longer? a Head-to-Head trial aims to find out
NCT ID NCT06870123
First seen Aug 12, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial is testing two different cup designs for total hip replacement, both paired with the same stem, to see which one gives patients better hip function and less pain. About 120 people with hip arthritis or related conditions will be randomly assigned to receive either the Delta TT or Delta ST-C cup. Researchers will track their progress for up to five years using a standard hip score that measures pain, movement, and daily function.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Two types of hip replacement cup devices (Delta TT and Delta ST-C) used with the MINIMA stem
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help surgeons choose the better cup design for hip replacement, improving long-term mobility and pain relief for patients with hip arthritis.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small study, and results may not apply to all patients. As with any surgery, there are risks like infection, implant loosening, or complications that could affect outcomes.
