Overview

Hip arthroplasty is a treatment widely used in most inflammatory, traumatic and degenerative conditions of this joint. The longevity of implants may be disappointing in some cases, despite the promising results obtained during in vitro simulations. Early loco-regional or systemic dissemination, known since the 1990s, of wear particles from these prosthesis may reduce their life span.

The analysis of the particles in the synovial fluid and in the articular tissues by electron microscopy after digestion or directly by optical microscopy, will improve the knowledge on the mechanisms of wear.

This category 3 study is based on the case-control model and will be conducted in a national reference center (hospital la Croix-Rousse- Lyon). It will include a population of adult patients.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Adult patient,
  • Patient including French,
  • Patient witness: to be hospitalized in the orthopedic department of the Croix-Rousse hospital for a first hip prosthesis
  • Patient test: to be hospitalized in the orthopedic department of the Croix-Rousse hospital for the removal of a hip prosthesis

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patient protected by law (guardianship, curatorship, safeguard of justice).
  • Pregnant or lactating woman
  • Patient with suspicion of infection on prosthesis
  • Patient opposing his participation in the study

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
