About this study

Official title: Mineral-Nano-Pathology : Wear of Hip Implants

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.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • hip prosthesis removed metal / polyethylene, simple mobilityProcedure or surgery

    Patients are hospitalized in order to change their hip prosthesis at the hospital "la Croix-Rousse" in Lyon.

    Patients have to complete before the surgery a survey on occupational and environmental exposures to mineral dust.

    The prosthesis removed is composed by metal/polyethylene. It's a simple mobility The aim is to define the types of particles that cause the most tissue inflammation

  • hip prosthesis removed metal / polyethylene, double mobilityProcedure or surgery

    Patients are hospitalized in order to change their hip prosthesis at the hospital "la Croix-Rousse" in Lyon.

    Patients have to complete before the surgery a survey on occupational and environmental exposures to mineral dust.

    The prosthesis removed is composed by metal/polyethylene. It's a double mobility.

    The aim is to define the types of particles that cause the most tissue inflammation

  • hip prosthesis removed ceramic/ polyethylene, simple mobilityProcedure or surgery

    Patients are hospitalized in order to change for their hip prosthesis at the hospital "la Croix-Rousse" in Lyon.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. types of particles that cause the most tissue inflammation

    Types of wear particles most found in patients whose tissues are classified as inflammatory. The particles can be classified by size, shape, material and type of original prosthesis.

    Measured: day of surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Arthroplasty, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 2 sites in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Dec 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

types of particles that cause the most tissue inflammation (time frame: day of surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Dec 2025.
