About this trial

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) volumes continue to rise each year as the population ages and indications broaden. Increasingly, younger patients require hip replacement for conditions beyond primary osteoarthritis or fractures. As a result, the number of revision procedures is growing and is expected to increase further.

Prospective data collection within this population will enable us to address key uncertainties, particularly around optimal implant selection for complex primary and revision cases.

In addition, establishing a structured prospective database will allow for systematic internal auditing for quality assurance. Even simple metrics - such as verifying whether every patient received a complete diagnostic infection workup before revision surgery - could immediately enhance service quality and inform improvements to clinical pathways.
