Powered Impaction and Broaching in Elderly Total Hip Arthroplasty
Canada100 participantsStarted 2026-10-01
Plain-language summary
Placing the parts of a hip replacement requires substantial force. This can lead to additional stress on the surgeon as well as the bone. A device was developed to help reduce this stress. This study aims to see whether this device impacts implant positioning and the surrounding bone in patients 70 years and older. It also will investigate surgeon efficiency and how patients walk after surgery.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial is studying powered versus manual impaction and broaching during hip replacement — can you explain what that difference means for my surgery, and whether the technique used could affect my risk of a bone fracture around the implant?
2Since this trial is not yet recruiting, how long might it be before it's actually enrolling patients, and would waiting to potentially join it be reasonable given my current hip condition?
3The trial is measuring periprosthetic fracture as its main outcome — does my bone density or age put me at higher or lower risk for that type of complication, and how does that affect whether this study might be relevant to me?
4Since this study is listed as Phase NA, meaning it's more of a procedural or device comparison rather than a drug trial, what is currently known about the safety of powered impaction tools in hip replacement surgery, and is there any reason to be concerned?
5Would my care team already be using one of these techniques — powered or manual — as the standard approach for my hip replacement, and if so, does that make participating in this trial a meaningful consideration or not?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
