First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study follows 225 people who have had a total hip replacement using the JRI ACE cup system. Over 10 years, researchers will track pain, function, and implant survival through questionnaires and X-rays. The goal is to make sure the device stays safe and works well over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ACE Acetabular Cup System (hip replacement device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study will confirm that the ACE cup system is safe and effective for long-term hip replacement, helping surgeons choose the best option for patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational follow-up study, not a test of a new treatment. It cannot prove the device works better than others, and results may not apply to all patients.
