First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study followed 100 people who received a Plasmafit® hip replacement device to see how well the implant survived over 10 years. Researchers checked implant survival, bone changes, and hip function using X-rays and clinical exams at 3 months, 1 year, 5 years, and 10 years after surgery. The goal was to confirm the device works safely in everyday use.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Plasmafit® Cup (hip replacement device)

What this could lead to

If the device performs well over 10 years, it could confirm that this hip implant is a reliable option for people needing total hip replacement.

What could go wrong

This is a small, single-arm follow-up study with no comparison group, so results may not apply to all patients. Long-term implant failure or complications like loosening or bone loss are possible.
