This trial is testing custom-made hip implants designed specifically for you based on your CT scan and X-rays. These personalized implants are created using advanced 3D printing technology to fill bone defects in your hip and help new bone grow. The goal is to help patients whose previous hip replacement surgery failed due to significant bone loss.
When a hip replacement fails and there is severe bone loss, standard off-the-shelf implants don't always work well or give consistent results. This trial exists to see if custom-designed implants—tailored exactly to your body—can provide better outcomes, reduce disability, and help you return to normal activities and work.

If you join this trial, you will receive a custom-made hip implant designed specifically for your bone defect using your CT scans and advanced 3D printing technology. The surgical procedure itself would be your main involvement, followed by standard follow-up care to monitor how well the implant works and how your bone heals around it. This is a small study enrolling about 15 patients at the Rizzoli Orthopedic Institute.
