New hip implant aims to stop joints from popping out after repeat surgery
NCT ID NCT04090359
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of hip implants in people who need a repeat hip replacement (revision). One implant has a special 'dual mobility' design meant to lower the risk of the hip dislocating. About 322 adults will be randomly assigned to get either the dual mobility implant or a standard single-bearing implant. The main goal is to see which group has fewer dislocations in the first year after surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Dual mobility acetabular cup implant
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a better option for people needing repeat hip replacement, reducing the chance of the new joint popping out of place.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small, early-phase trial comparing two device types. Results may not apply to all patients, and there are standard surgical risks like infection or implant loosening.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Any patient older than 18 years of age scheduled for a revision THA, including revision of both components, conversion of a hip resurfacing to THA, conversion of a hemiarthroplasty to THA, and revision of single components which allow implantation of dual-mobility bearings. In addition, patients undergoing reimplantation of a total hip arthroplasty following a two-stage revision for periprosthetic infection will also be included. Only patients with an acetabular shell diameter capable of accommodating at least a 36mm femoral head will be included. Exclusion Criteria: * Less than 18 years of age, primary THA, * conversion of non-arthroplasty femoral neck fracture fixation to THA, * patients unwilling to participate. * patients where the surgeon makes the intraoperative decision to use a constrained liner will be excluded.
