Scientific titleClinical evaluation comparing minimally invasive and standard skin incisions in cementless total hip arthroplasty using the Bimetric Hip system with the 38mm M2A cup. Clinical evaluation of incision size in total hip replacement
Study objectives1. Does a small incision (minimally invasive) provide an improved recovery for patients following total hip arthoplasty?
2. Specifically, is the patient able to mobilise more rapidly, leading to an early discharge from the hospital and does it require less analgesia for control of pain?
3. Are there any complications of performing this procedure that are not observed when using the standard incision?
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedSurgery: Arthroplasty
InterventionPatients will be randomised into either the control or test group (small incision) using randomisation envelopes. The envelope will be opened to reveal the study group only when the patient is in the anaesthetic room being prepared for surgery.
Intervention typeProcedure/Surgery
Primary outcome measure(s)

Clinical results following minimal incision hip surgery with regards to clinical scores at 6 weeks to 2 years post-operatively.
