Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is a single centre randomized clinical outcomes study. The Symax stem or Accolade TMZF (Titan, Molybdenum, Zirconium, Ferrum) in combination with the Hemispherical Trident cup, X3 inserts, 28 and 40 mm Metal heads are the primary components to be implanted for evaluation.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 75 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Male and non pregnant female patients between 18-75 years of age.
  2. Patients requiring uncemented primary total hip arthroplasty (THA), suitable for the use of the Symax stem
  3. Patients with a diagnosis of osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), avascular necrosis (AVN) or post-traumatic arthritis (TA).
  4. Patients who understand the conditions of the study and are willing and able to comply with the post-operative scheduled clinical and radiographic evaluations and the prescribed rehabilitation
  5. Patients who signed the specific Informed Consent Form prior to surgery

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients who require revision of a previously implanted THA
  2. Patients who had a THA on contra-lateral side within the last 1 year.
  3. Patients who had a THA on contralateral side more than 1 year ago and the rehabilitation period outcome was considered unsatisfactory or not good. (Patients with contra-lateral THA > 1 year ago with good outcome (Harris Hip Score > 85) can be included in the study).
  4. Patients who will need lower limb joint replacement for another joint within one year.
  5. Bilaterally operated patient.
  6. Patients who have had a prior procedure of acetabular osteotomy.
  7. Patients with active or suspected infection.
  8. Patients with malignancy - active malignancy
  9. Patients with a diagnosed systemic disease that would affect the subject's welfare or overall outcome of the study (i.e. severe osteoporosis, Paget's disease, renal osteodystrophy) or is immunologically suppressed, or receiving steroids in excess of physiologic dose requirements.
  10. The patient has a neuromuscular or neurosensory deficit which would limit the ability to assess the performance of the device or the patient has a neurological deficit which interferes with the patient's ability to limit weight bearing or places an extreme load on the implant during the healing period.
  11. Female patients planning a pregnancy during the course of the study.
  12. Patients with systemic or metabolic disorders leading to progressive bone deterioration.
  13. Patients, who as judged by the surgeon, are mentally incompetent or are unlikely to be compliant with the prescribed post-operative routine and follow-up evaluation schedule.
  14. Patients with other severe concurrent joint involvements which can affect their outcome.
  15. Patients with other concurrent illnesses which are likely to affect their outcome such as sickle cell anaemia, systemic lupus erythematosus, psoriasis, Insulin dependent Type I diabetes or renal disease requiring dialysis.
  16. Surgeries to be performed with navigation and/or robot-assisted instruments.
  17. Patient with a known sensitivity to device materials.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
To Compare Wear of the Polyethylene X3 Insert Based on Digital Radiographs Using the Hip Analysis Suite (HAS).
Time Frame: 5 years follow-up
Determine equality of 5 year wear in the 28mm and the 40mm metal femoral head sizes using HAS, a software for the determination of polyethylene wear on digital radiographs.
5 years follow-up

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Harris Hip Score (HHS) Patient Questionnaire
Time Frame: 6 weeks, 3 months, 1, 2 and 5 years
Scores can range from 0 to 100 with 0 being the worst and 100 being the best score. A score of 80-100 is considered good-excellent and a score of less than or equal to 79 is considered fair-poor. 90-100 = excellent 80-89 = good 70-79 = fair 0-69 = poor.
6 weeks, 3 months, 1, 2 and 5 years
Merle D'Aubergine Score (MdA)
Time Frame: 6 weeks, 3 months, 1, 2 and 5 years
The Merle D'Aubergine-Charnley Score is a simplified clinical scoring system for the hip. The overall score is determined by the sum of scores obtained from each dimension of pain, walking ability and joint mobility. The overall numeric score is given by adding the domain scores. Clinical grades: Excellent, 18, Good 15-17, Fair 13-14, Poor <13.
6 weeks, 3 months, 1, 2 and 5 years
