Hip Revision Surgery Technique for Hip Osteoarthritis
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new technique for hip revision surgery using the REDAPT Revision Hip System to treat hip osteoarthritis. Researchers aim to evaluate how well the new hip components remain stable over time and how much they enhance a patient's mobility and overall health. They seek patients needing hip revision surgery, meaning their current hip implant requires repair or replacement, and who do not have severe obesity or infections. This trial may suit those experiencing issues like pain or limited movement from a hip implant. As an unphased study, this trial offers a unique opportunity to contribute to innovative surgical advancements that could improve future patient care.
Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.
What prior data suggests that this hip revision surgery technique is safe for patients with hip osteoarthritis?
Research has shown that the REDAPT Revision Hip System is generally a safe treatment option. Studies have found that this hip system delivers good short-term results. Specifically, a modern version of this system demonstrated positive outcomes in patients who underwent complex hip surgeries.
However, some early studies reported a high rate of subsidence, meaning the hip implant might shift slightly from its original position. This potential concern is not uncommon in hip revision surgeries and can be monitored over time. Importantly, other studies examining safety and effectiveness up to 10 years post-surgery have shown no major safety issues.
Overall, despite some early concerns, the system appears well-tolerated with careful monitoring.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about the REDAPT Revision Hip System because it offers a versatile approach for hip osteoarthritis that allows for specific revisions to the hip joint. Unlike current treatments, which often involve more invasive full replacement surgeries, this system can target only the necessary parts, like the cup and stem, or just one of them. This targeted approach could lead to less trauma for patients and potentially faster recovery times, making it a promising alternative to existing procedures.
What evidence suggests that this hip revision surgery technique is effective for hip osteoarthritis?
Research has shown that the REDAPT Revision Hip System, which participants in this trial will receive, holds promise for hip revision surgeries. The system includes 3D-printed titanium parts that promote bone integration, crucial for long-term stability. One study found these parts performed well and lasted in complex hip surgeries. Additionally, similar titanium stems used in REDAPT have demonstrated excellent results in hip revision surgeries. Although some early results indicated the implant moved more than expected, overall, the system has been associated with positive short-term outcomes.12456

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults needing hip revision surgery due to osteoarthritis, who can follow the study's procedures and self-evaluations. They must be able to use the standard implant without special requirements. Excluded are those with severe obesity (BMI>40), unresolved infections, certain joint diseases, known metal allergies to device components, or participation in another clinical study within 30 days.Inclusion Criteria
