  1. Our Studies How to get involved

  2. Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) FAIM As we have seen, FAI is an abnormal hip shape. Abnormal hip shapes can increase the risk of developing OA This trial aims to find out what causes this hip shape to develop. This may lead to finding new ways of preventing the development of OA FAIT • Trial comparing surgical and non-surgical approaches to treating FAI • Both surgical and non-surgical have been shown to improve FAI symptoms, however there is no evidence that either treatment can prevent the development of OA • The goal of FAIT it to determine the best practice for treating FAI and preventing the development of OA http://www.ndorms.ox.ac.uk/clinicaltrials.php?trial=fait http://www.ndorms.ox.ac.uk/clinicaltrials.php?trial=faim

  3. MiniHip MiniHip is a new kind of hip replacement that uses a highly-cross linked polyethylene (plastic) that has vitamin E It is theorised that this kind of replacement will conserve the bone better and therefore the replacement will last longer (traditional hip replacement last about 10-15 years before needing revision) The aim of this study is to follow up patients for 10 years at different intervals to see how their MiniHip replacement is progressing compared to a traditional replacement

  4. Getting involved We always seek out patient and public involvement in our trials We are currently creating a Hip Young Adult Patient and Public Involvement group to seek advice on our FAIT and FAIM studies If you would like to find out more about this group and how to participate please click on the link below: http://www.ndorms.ox.ac.uk/clinicaltrials.php?trial=hipyoungadult
