Research summary
Hip replacements are being performed on an increasingly active population, who are likely to wear their implants out prematurely. New hip replacements have been devised to minimise the risk of failure. We propose a randomised clinical study designed to compare the performance of two established types of hip replacement, which use a differing philosophy, and one newer kind of implant. To do this we will use an advanced 3D X-ray technique. This study will be held at a single site (Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre) and is funded by DEPUY. Participants will be recruited from outpatient clinics held by the cheif investigator and other consultant orthopaedic consultants listed as co-investigators.
