June 19, 2025 updated by: Zimmer Biomet

Prospective Multicenter Observational Evaluation of the Use of the G7 BiSpherical Acetabular Shell

The primary objective of this study is to obtain implant survivorship and clinical outcomes data for the commercially available G7 BiSpherical Acetabular Shell.

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.

Detailed Description

The G7 BiSpherical Acetabular Shell belongs to the G7 multi-bearing platform. It was developed to provide an additional surgical option for patients in need of a total hip replacement. The aim of the G7 BiSpherical Acetabular Shell is to increase hip function while reducing pain.

This study is a multicenter, prospective, non-randomized, non-controlled post market surveillance study involving orthopedic surgeons skilled in hip arthroplasty procedures. A minimum of 4 and a maximum of 5 sites will be involved in this study. This number of clinical centers will permit assessment of consistency among a multitude of investigators. 140-175 implants will be included into the study. Each site will be allowed to enroll 35 patients. All potential study subjects will be required to participate in the Informed Consent Process.

The safety and performance of the G7 BiSpherical Acetabular Shell will be assessed as following: implant survivorship based on revision with removal of the study device; safety based on incidence and frequency of adverse events; and clinical efficacy measured by overall pain and function, quality of life data and radiographic evaluation.

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 and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

N/A

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients in need of a Total Hip Arthroplasty (primary or revision) which receive the G7 BiSperical Acetabular Shell and who meet all of the inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient capable of understanding the surgeon's explanations and following his instructions, able and willing to participate in the follow-up program and who gave consent to take part in the study.
  • Patient aged of 18 years or more whose skeleton reached bone maturity.
  • Noninflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis.
  • Rheumatoid arthritis.
  • Correction of functional deformity.
  • Treatment of non-union, femoral neck fracture, and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement, unmanageable by other techniques.
  • Revision procedures where other treatment or devices have failed.

Inclusion criteria specific for patients receiving the G7 BiSpherical Shell with the G7 Freedom Constrained Liner:

  • The Biomet G7 Freedom Constrained Liner is indicated for use as a component of a total hip prosthesis in primary and revision patients at high risk of dislocation due to a history of prior dislocation, bone loss, joint or soft tissue laxity, neuromuscular disease, or intraoperative instability, and for whom all other options to con-strained acetabular components have been considered.

Exclusion Criteria:

Absolute exclusion criteria include:

  • Infection, sepsis, osteomyelitis.

Relative exclusion criteria include:

  • Uncooperative patient or patient with neurologic disorders who is incapable of following directions.
  • Osteoporosis.
  • Metabolic disorders which may impair bone formation.
  • Osteomalacia.
  • Distant foci of infections which may spread to the implant site.
  • Rapid joint destruction, marked bone loss or bone resorption apparent on roentgenogram.
  • Vascular insufficiency, muscular atrophy or neuromuscular disease.
  • Patient unwilling or unable to give consent, or to comply with the follow-up program.
  • Patient known to be pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Patient presenting any condition that would, in the judgment of the Investigator, place the patient at undue risk or interfere with the study.
  • Patient institutionalized or known drug abuser or alcoholic or anyone who cannot understand what is required of them.
  • Patient belonging to a vulnerable population.

Exclusion criteria specific for patients receiving the G7 BiSpherical Shell with the G7 Freedom Constrained Liner:

  • Bone or musculature compromised by disease, infection, or prior implantation that cannot provide adequate support or fixation for the prosthesis.

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
Time Frame
Implant survivorship is assessed counting the number of implant revisions
Time Frame: 10 years
10 years

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
Time Frame
Clinical efficacy of the device is assessed using the Oxford Hip Score patient questionnaire
Time Frame: 10 years
10 years
Clinical efficacy of the device is assessed using the Harris Hip Score patient questionnaire
Time Frame: 10 years
10 years
Safety is assessed according to the number of complications which are collected via adverse event forms.
Time Frame: 10 years
