Condition(s) studied

Osteoarthritis, HipInflammatory Arthritis

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

The H1 ImplantCementless total hip replacement

The H1 Implant: Patients allocated to The H1 Implant arm will be implanted with the H1 Implant which is a cementless, ceramic hip resurfacing device.

Cementless total hip replacement: Patients allocated to cementless total hip replacement arm will be implanted with a cementless ceramic-on-poly or ceramic-on-ceramic total hip replacement

Study summary

The goal of this randomised controlled trial 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 their function, complication rate and physical activity.
