Post-Market Clinical Follow-Up (PMCF) Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Tıpmed™ Primary Hip Prosthesis System

June 10, 2026 updated by: TIPMED Medical Device Manufacturing Ltd. Co.

A Multicenter, Prospective, Observational, Post-Market Clinical Follow-Up (PMCF) Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Tıpmed™ Primary Hip Prosthesis System

This is a multicenter, prospective, observational, post-market clinical follow-up (PMCF) study designed to evaluate the safety and clinical performance of the Tipmed™ Primary Hip Prosthesis System in adult subjects undergoing primary hip arthroplasty. The study aims to gather real-world clinical evidence on the 24-month post-operative safety profile, potential complications, and functional outcomes of the device during routine clinical practice.

Detailed Description

This prospective, observational, PMCF study evaluates the short-to-medium-term safety and efficacy data of the Tipmed™ Primary Hip Prosthesis System in patients undergoing primary hip arthroplasty (total or partial) across 4 clinical centers in Turkey. A total of 101 eligible participants will be enrolled in accordance with the pre-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Pre-operative demographic details, medical history, and surgical parameters will be captured retrospectively from patient medical charts. Following the baseline surgical procedure, subjects will undergo a 24-month clinical follow-up period consisting of 6 routine post-operative assessment windows: at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, and 24 months. At each longitudinal visit, investigators will complete a study-specific Case Report Form (CRF) to document objective clinical indicators. Clinical performance and joint functionality will be quantitatively monitored utilizing the Harris Hip Score (HHS). Safety endpoints will be continuously evaluated by identifying, classifying, and reporting any adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), implant-related complications (such as dislocation, aseptic loosening, or infection), and hardware deficiencies. Radiological findings (implant orientation, migration, osteointegration) and laboratory indicators (such as C-Reactive Protein and Sedimentation Rate) will be documented when available as part of standard medical surveillance.

Demographic characteristics, clinical parameters, and efficacy/safety outcomes will be summarized using descriptive statistics. Stratified analyses will be conducted based on the specific type of primary surgical intervention. Separate subgroup analyses will be executed for study participants who undergo partial hip arthroplasty (hemiarthroplasty) to isolate and evaluate their outcomes independently from the patients treated with total hip arthroplasty. Categorical variables across these subgroups will be compared using the Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test, as appropriate.

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

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

The study population comprises adult patients aged 18 years and older, of both sexes, who have undergone primary hip arthroplasty (either total or partial) at participating multi-center orthopedic clinics. The cohort specifically represents individuals whose surgical treatment involved the standard clinical implantation of the Tipmed™ Primary Hip Prosthesis System component options. Eligible individuals who are legally competent and provide written informed consent to allow their routine post-operative clinical, laboratory, and radiographic data to be documented will be consecutively enrolled.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Individuals aged 18 years and older,
  • Male or female participants,
  • Subjects who have undergone Primary Hip Arthroplasty (either total or partial) for any indication,
  • Subjects in whose surgical procedure the Tipmed™ Primary Hip Prosthesis System components were utilized.
  • Subjects who are not legally restricted (e.g., military personnel, convicts, or individuals under legal guardianship).
  • Subjects who have voluntarily signed the written Informed Consent Form (ICF).

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects currently participating in any other interventional clinical trial.

No investigational or non-routine interventions are performed as part of this observational registry.

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
Functional Joint Performance via Harris Hip Score (HHS) at 24 Months
Time Frame: 24 months post-operatively.
The proportion of participants achieving "Excellent" (≥ 90 points) or "Good" (80-89 points) clinical performance based on the Harris Hip Score (HHS) will be evaluated. The HHS is a clinician-administered tool that quantitatively scores hip function across domains including pain, function, functional activities, absence of deformity, and range of motion (ROM), with a total score ranging from 0 (worst possible outcome) to 100 (best possible outcome).
24 months post-operatively.
Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Time Frame: From the signing of informed consent up to 24 months post-operatively.
Continuous monitoring, documentation, and cumulative tracking of the incidence of all adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) occurring throughout the study period, regardless of their causal relationship to the investigational medical device or surgical procedure. Events will be systematically classified by severity (mild, moderate, severe), outcome, and causality pattern.
From the signing of informed consent up to 24 months post-operatively.
Incidence of Clinical Complications
Time Frame: From the time of signing the informed consent form up to 24 months post-operatively.
Evaluation of the rate, frequency, and types of all complications recorded throughout the study period. This includes intraoperative complications captured retrospectively from surgical medical records (such as femoral or acetabular fractures, vascular injuries, and nerve lesions) as well as longitudinal complications documented during the follow-up phase (such as joint dislocation, aseptic loosening, implant breakage, or deep and superficial surgical site infections) associated with the routine clinical utilization of the Tipmed™ Primary Hip Prosthesis System.
From the time of signing the informed consent form up to 24 months post-operatively.

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
Longitudinal Changes in Hip Functioning via Harris Hip Score (HHS)
Time Frame: Retrospective pre-operative baseline, and prospective assessments at 6 weeks, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months post-operatively.
Periodic monitoring of absolute HHS tracking metrics and category shifts to determine the trajectory of functional recovery over time. The total HHS ranges from 0 (worst possible outcome) to 100 (best possible outcome) and is categorized as follows: Excellent (90-100); Good (80-89); Fair (70-79); Poor (60-69); and Very Poor (<60). Transition tables will be generated utilizing these classifications to map longitudinal shifts from the retrospectively captured pre-operative baseline value (extracted from patient medical charts) across all prospective post-operative follow-up intervals.
Retrospective pre-operative baseline, and prospective assessments at 6 weeks, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months post-operatively.
