MOVE-HIP: Ceramic Hip Resurfacing Versus Total Hip Arthroplasty Using Activity Monitoring
Sponsor: Danderyd Hospital
Summary
MOVE-HIP is a pragmatic, multicenter randomized clinical trial comparing ceramic hip resurfacing arthroplasty with contemporary total hip arthroplasty in adults with symptomatic hip osteoarthritis who are considered clinically eligible for both procedures. Participants in the randomized cohort are allocated 1:1 to either ceramic hip resurfacing or total hip arthroplasty and are kept blinded to treatment allocation where feasible through the 24-month primary follow-up. The primary objective is to determine whether ceramic hip resurfacing results in greater objectively measured mean daily walking distance over the postoperative period from 3 to 24 months. Activity is assessed during standardized 7-day wearable monitoring periods at 3, 12, and 24 months. The primary estimand is the adjusted overall between-group difference across these postoperative time points. A parallel observational preference cohort may include otherwise eligible patients who decline randomization; this cohort is analyzed separately and does not contribute to the primary randomized inference.

Conditions
Interventions
Ceramic-on-Ceramic Hip Resurfacing Arthroplasty
Cementless ceramic-on-ceramic hip resurfacing arthroplasty. The currently planned study implant is H1, or a subsequent equivalent generation if applicable. Procedures are performed by surgeons with documented arthroplasty experience and system-specific training.
Contemporary Total Hip Arthroplasty
Contemporary standard primary total hip arthroplasty using established implants and bearing combinations according to local routine and individual clinical assessment. Implant choice remains clinically appropriate for the individual participant.
