Current Projects

We are currently delivering the following research projects:

G7 Vivacit-E/Longevity

  • Global, multicenter, and prospective post-market clinical follow-up study of the G7 acetabular system with Vivacit-E and Longevity Highly Crosslinked Polyethylene (HXLPE) liners and instrumentation.

    G7 Vivacit-E/Longevity Study

  • The purpose of this study is to confirm the long-term safety, performance and clinical benefits of the G7 acetabular shells when used with the Vivacit-E and Longevity Highly Crosslinked Polyethylene (HXLPE) liners and instrumentation in primary and revision total hip arthroplasty.
  • Currently recruiting.
  • Sponsored by ZimmerBiomet.

Beyond Compliance G7 Study

  • A prospective, observational, multi-centre, cohort study of the G7 acetabular system used with compatible femoral stems in patients with degenerative disease of the hip.
  • The purpose of this multicenter study is to assess the clinical performance of the G7 acetabular system under standard condition of use.
  • Recruitment completed, currently in follow-up.
  • Sponsored by ZimmerBiomet.

The HELLO Trial

The HELLO Trial

  • An observational study to evaluate the health outcomes from a Mako robotic arm-assisted total hip replacement.
  • The HELLO study assessed clinical outcomes in the 12 months following surgery for 200 patients undergoing a robotic arm-assisted total hip replacement. This was measured using patient reported outcome measures, surgery-related resource use and complications, physical activity monitoring, gait analysis and muscle strength testing.
  • Recruitment and follow-up completed, currently in analysis.

CLEAT

  • A pragmatic, randomised controlled trial with economic evaluation, to compare a cycling and educational programme (CHAIN) with usual physiotherapy care in the treatment of hip osteoarthritis: CycLing and EducATion.
  • The purpose of the CLEAT study is to investigate whether people who receive an 8-week education and static cycling treatment have an improvement in their hip function and less pain than those patients who receive physiotherapy treatment as per standard care and practice within the NHS.
