New measuring arm aims to prevent leg length discrepancy after hip replacement
NCT ID NCT07595510
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a device called NaviFast 6D, a miniature measuring arm used during hip replacement surgery to help surgeons check leg length and hip offset. Researchers compared measurements from the device to standard X-ray measurements in 84 adults undergoing hip replacement. The goal was to see if the device could reduce differences in leg length after surgery compared to usual care.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this device could help surgeons better match leg lengths during hip replacement, potentially reducing post-surgery leg length differences.
- What could go wrong
- This was a small, completed study focused on measurement accuracy, not long-term outcomes. The device may not improve patient satisfaction or function.
