This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.

What is this trial?

This trial is testing the Emphasys Hip Solutions, a new artificial hip system designed to replace a damaged hip joint in people with severe arthritis or hip damage. Researchers will track how well the implant stays in place and functions during the first two years after surgery using special imaging techniques. The results will help doctors understand how this new implant performs compared to similar hip replacements used in the past.

Hip replacement is a common surgery, but doctors need to carefully monitor new implant designs to make sure they last a long time and don't shift or loosen in the bone. This study will provide important information about whether this new implant design is safe and stable over time.

Do you qualify?

You likely qualify if…

you need a primary hip replacement surgery because of severe arthritis, hip damage, or fracture
you are at least 21 years old
you are able to understand and sign an informed consent form
you are willing and able to return for follow-up visits as scheduled by the study
you are able to complete questionnaires about your hip pain and function

You likely don't qualify if…

you have an active infection in your body
you have weak bones (such as severe osteoporosis) that may not support the implant
you are pregnant or breastfeeding
you have a condition that would prevent you from being able to rehabilitate after surgery
you have a medical condition with a life expectancy of less than two years

What participation looks like

You will receive hip replacement surgery using the Emphasys implant system. After surgery, you will attend follow-up visits over two years where doctors will take special X-rays to measure how the implant is positioned in your bone. You will also complete questionnaires about your hip pain, function, and quality of life. The study does not restrict other aspects of your surgical care beyond requiring that the study's specific implant components be used.
