ReNew Hip Implant for Hip Injuries
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests the ReNew Hip Implant to evaluate its effectiveness for individuals with specific hip problems. It targets those whose hip disease has resulted in cartilage loss in the hip joint, causing persistent pain unrelieved by medication or physical therapy. The trial seeks participants who have experienced this type of hip pain for at least three months and are considering surgery. As an unphased trial, it offers participants the chance to contribute to important research that could lead to new treatment options for hip pain.
Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?
The trial information does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, if you have used systemic steroids in the past 3 months or had intra-articular therapy within 3 months of enrollment, you may not be eligible to participate.
What prior data suggests that the ReNew Hip Implant is safe for hip injuries?
Research has shown that the ReNew Hip Implant is as safe and effective as traditional hip replacements. This conclusion is based on studies of similar hip systems, which generally perform well for patients. However, some risks should be considered. Certain studies have found a higher chance of thigh bone fractures with specific hip implants, but it remains unclear if this applies to ReNew. Patients should always discuss with their doctor to understand the benefits and risks based on their health needs.12345
Why are researchers excited about this trial?
The ReNew Hip Implant is unique because it offers a potentially more durable and efficient solution for hip injuries compared to current options like traditional metal or ceramic hip replacements. Researchers are excited about this treatment because it is designed with advanced materials that may reduce wear and tear, leading to a longer lifespan of the implant. Additionally, it aims to improve patient mobility and comfort with a design that more closely mimics the natural movement of the hip joint, setting it apart from existing implants.
What evidence suggests that the ReNew Hip Implant is effective for hip injuries?
Research has shown that hip replacements, such as the ReNew Hip Implant being studied in this trial, are usually successful and long-lasting. One study found that 57.9% of hip replacements last more than 25 years. Another source indicates these implants typically last about 15 to 20 years. Many patients experience significantly less pain, with 80% reporting mild or no pain after hip revision surgery. Additionally, one-stage revision surgeries prove just as effective as two-stage surgeries in improving hip function and reducing pain. This suggests that hip implants can offer long-term benefits for individuals with hip injuries.678910
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for people aged 14 to 55 with hip diseases like FAI or osteoarthritis, who've tried other treatments without success. They should have a BMI under 35, persistent symptoms for at least 3 months, and some cartilage loss in the hip but still enough joint space. Participants need medical clearance and must commit to follow-ups.Inclusion Criteria
