This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether adding small screws to one part of a hip replacement implant makes it more stable and longer-lasting. Researchers will use a specialized imaging method called CT-RSA to measure how much each implant moves after surgery, which can predict whether it will last many years or eventually need to be replaced.
Hip replacements are common and generally successful, but some implants loosen or fail over time, requiring painful revision surgery. By studying early movement patterns of newer implant designs, researchers hope to predict which designs will last a lifetime and reduce the need for these difficult repeat surgeries.

You will receive a hip replacement surgery using the study implants and then return for scheduled clinical visits and imaging scans over the follow-up period. The research team will use advanced CT scans to precisely measure how your implant settles into place, helping them understand which design may be more durable long-term. You will be randomly assigned to receive the implant either with or without additional screws, which the study is comparing.
