What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused

Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This trial compares two types of stitches used to close the joint capsule during hip arthroscopy, a key step in treating hip injuries like labral tears and femoroacetabular impingement. One type dissolves over time, while the other remains permanently. The study will measure patient-reported outcomes like pain and function, and also check for abnormal bone growth at six months. The goal is to see if one stitch type leads to better recovery and fewer complications.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Absorbable sutures versus non-absorbable sutures used to close the joint capsule during hip arthroscopy
What this could lead to
If one suture type proves better, it could improve recovery and reduce complications after hip arthroscopy.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage trial, and the difference between suture types may be minimal or not clinically significant.
