ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a specific type of hip surgery called total hip arthroplasty (THA), using a technique known as the direct anterior approach (DAA). The goal is to create a detailed guide that breaks down the surgical process into clear steps. This will help improve the way surgeries are performed and understood. Researchers will analyze videos of the surgery to identify and label each part of the procedure systematically.

To participate in this trial, you need to be between 65 and 74 years old and undergoing your first total hip replacement surgery at one of the participating hospitals. You will also need to provide complete medical imaging data, like CT scans and X-rays of your hip and pelvis, and sign a consent form. If you have had previous hip surgery at the same site or have certain hip or pelvis fractures, you may not be eligible. Participants can expect to contribute to important research that could enhance surgical techniques and improve outcomes for future patients.
