ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how the method used to secure the acetabular component (the socket part of the hip joint) during the initial total hip replacement surgery affects the likelihood of needing a second surgery later on. The researchers are particularly interested in comparing two techniques: using cement to fix the cup in place versus not using cement. They want to see if one method leads to a higher risk of needing further revisions to the hip joint.

To take part in this study, participants should be between the ages of 65 and 74 and have had their first hip replacement due to primary osteoarthritis. They must have had a revision surgery where the liner or socket was replaced, and they should have specific sizes of the femoral component. However, those who only had the femoral component revised or have certain types of implants won’t be eligible. While the study is not yet recruiting participants, once it starts, those enrolled can expect to provide information about their surgeries and health, helping researchers understand the best practices for hip replacement surgeries.
