Research summary
The goal of this clinical investigation is to compare the success of two types of hip replacement in patients with hip arthritis. The main question it aims to answer is whether a new type of hip replacement (called a hip resurfacing) can be as successful as an existing hip replacement (called a total hip replacement). Patients will be given either the new hip resurfacing or the existing total hip replacement and researchers will compare the patients’ function, complication rate and physical activity levels.
