New hip cup under observation: will it last?
NCT ID NCT04255966
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is observing 60 people who received a special hip replacement cup (Plasmafit Revision Structan) during routine surgery. Researchers are checking how well the cup works and how long it lasts by tracking hip function and any need for repeat surgery. No new treatment is being tested—this is just gathering real-world data on an existing device.
