New hip implant study aims to reduce bone loss after surgery
NCT ID NCT02518269
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 360 adults aged 18-75 who need a hip replacement due to arthritis or pain. It compares three different types of artificial hip parts to see which one causes less bone loss and gives better pain relief and movement over 5 years. Participants will have CT scans and answer questionnaires about their hip function.

Inclusion Criteria: Patient is 18 to 75 years of age, inclusive. * Patients determined to be suitable for uncemented fixation by investigator * Patient is skeletally mature. * Patient qualifies for primary unilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) based on physical exam and medical history including the following: * Osteoarthritis (OA) * Developmental Dysplasia without subluxation * Patient is willing and able to provide written informed consent. * Patient is willing and able to cooperate in the required post-operative therapy. * Patient is willing and able to complete scheduled follow-up evaluations as described in the Informed Consent. Exclusion Criteria: The patient is: * A prisoner * Mentally incompetent or unable to understand what participation in the study entails * A known alcohol or drug abuser * Anticipated to be non-compliant. * The patient has a neuromuscular disorder, vascular disorder or other conditions that could contribute to prosthesis instability, prosthesis fixation failure, or complications in postoperative care. * The patient has a neurologic condition in the ipsilateral or contralateral limb which affects lower limb function. * The patient has a diagnosed systemic disease that could affect his/her safety or the study outcome. * The patient is known to be pregnant. * The patient is unwilling or unable to give informed consent, or to comply with the follow-up program. * The patient has an active or latent infection in or about the affected hip joint or an infection distant from the hip joint that may spread to the hip hematogenously. The patient has had previous Girdlestone procedure (resection arthroplasty) or surgical fusion of the hip to be operated. * The patient has insufficient bone stock to fix the component. Insufficient bone stock exists (ex: Dorr type C) in the presence of metabolic bone disease (i.e. osteoporosis), cancer, and radiation. * Estimated cup size smaller than 48 or stem size smaller than 7 * The patient has known local bone tumors in the operative hip.
