Hip replacement study halted early: what it means for pelvic movement
NCT ID NCT04587440
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aimed to see how total hip replacement changes the way the pelvic bone moves during daily activities like sitting and standing. Researchers used an ultrasound device to measure pelvic tilt in 15 people with hip arthritis before and after surgery. The study was terminated early, so the findings are limited and not conclusive.
