Summary
This study looks at whether using a device called the Alexis wound retractor during hip replacement surgery helps wounds heal faster and reduces infections. About 202 adults with hip arthritis having a first-time hip replacement will take part. Researchers will compare healing, scarring, and nerve symptoms between those who get the retractor and those who don't.
