Implementation of hip replacement surgery recommendations: a qualitative study of orthopaedic surgeons’ perspectives
For a trial's findings to be influential in changing practice, it seems that: the trial needs to be well-designed and provide clear, strong findings; surgeons need to believe that changing practice will improve their personal outcomes; and suitable training opportunities need to be provided where surgeons lack experience using a recommended implant type. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Registered 19/02/2021, ISRCTN11097021.
