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 cohort study designed to investigate the performance of a new type of bone conserving hip replacement. 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 partly funded by CORIN. Participants will be recruited from outpatient clinics held by the chief investigator and other consultant orthopaedic consultants listed as con-investigators.
