In partnership with The James Lind Alliance (JLA), the BHS recently completed a Problematic Hip Replacement Priority Setting Partnership (PSP) to identify the top 10 unanswered questions from patient and clinical perspectives relating to the assessment, management or rehabilitation of patients with problematic hip replacements.*

Please select which question your research aims to answer, or an alternative question that meets the aims of the BHS and ORUK

How can the cause of a problematic hip replacement be diagnosed more quickly and accurately?

What causes pain in hip replacements? How is this best treated and managed, including using non-surgical approaches?

What can be done before revision hip surgery (including physiotherapy, lifestyle change and exercise) to optimise the result?

What are the best ways (including non-surgical treatments) of managing fractures around hip replacements?

Are there ways to identify which people with a problematic hip replacement will benefit from revision surgery?

What can be done after revision hip surgery (including physiotherapy and exercise) to optimise the result?

What are the best ways to treat and manage infected hip replacements?

What treatment benefits people with a problematic hip replacement when no cause is found?

Is revision hip surgery best carried out by a specialist or non-specialist surgeon? Which is more successful and cost-effective?

What are the early signs of a problematic hip replacement which indicate patients need to be assessed?

I have an alternative research question.

Please specify:

If you have an alternative research question, please outline why it is important. What would be the potential impact on patient care?

Please describe how your study will address the research question*

Please indicate research aims, objectives and deliverables.
