3D-Printed hip implant could replace risky surgery
NCT ID NCT07072832
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a new 3D-printed implant for adults with hip dysplasia, a condition where the hip socket doesn't fully cover the thigh bone, causing pain and gait problems. Ten participants aged 18-45 will receive the implant to see if it is safe and helps improve hip function and recovery. The goal is to offer a less invasive option with fewer complications than the current standard surgery.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Hip dysplasia based on AP x-ray with a LCEA of \<25° * Groin pain and/or gait abnormalities, with no other explanatory hip pathology * Aged at least 18 years and maximal 45 years at time of surgery (indicated age for PAO(19)) * Willing to comply with the study visit schedule during 12 month follow-up * Able and willing to provide informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Previous acetabular surgery \>10yr of age * Signs of osteoarthritis on x-ray (Tonnis classification \>1), * Body mass index of more than 35 * Large labral tears visible on non-contrast MRI * Pre-consultation known titanium allergy * Pre-consultation known medical histories of diseases that per the investigator possibly affect the outcome: neuromuscular disease affecting the stability of the hip, diseases affecting bone ingrowth and fixation strength of the implant like rheumatoid arthritis and metabolic bone diseases, e.g. osteomalacie, osteoporosis, hyperparathyroidism, hypercalcemia. * Pre-consultation known pregnant women or women who are planning to become pregnant during the duration of the study. * Part of vulnerable population (e.g. Mentally disabled with cognitive impairment or mental disease) * Currently participating in another investigational clinical trial. * Unable to provide informed consent (e.g. insufficient language skills)
