What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Change in Chromium serum ion level across time intervals	To compare the chromium serum ion levels in the patient population from pre-operatively through 8 years post-operatively in a 1-way ANOVA. This is a cross-sectional study so each time interval (pre-operatively through 8 years post-operatively) will be a different cohort of patients.	Pre-operatively through 8 years
Change in Chromium whole blood ion level across time intervals	To compare the chromium whole blood ion levels in the patient population from pre-operatively through 8 years post-operatively in a 1-way ANOVA. This is a cross-sectional study so each time interval (pre-operatively through 8 years post-operatively) will be a different cohort of patients.	Pre-operatively through 8 years
Change in Cobalt serum ion level across time intervals	To compare the cobalt serum ion levels in the patient population from pre-operatively through 8 years post-operatively in a 1-way ANOVA. This is a cross-sectional study so each time interval (pre-operatively through 8 years post-operatively) will be a different cohort of patients.	Pre-operatively through 8 years
Change in Cobalt whole blood ion level across time intervals	To compare the cobalt whole blood ion levels in the patient population from pre-operatively through 8 years post-operatively in a 1-way ANOVA. This is a cross-sectional study so each time interval (pre-operatively through 8 years post-operatively) will be a different cohort of patients.	Pre-operatively through 8 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Poolability of data across stem types	Within each of the primary analyses, the poolability of data across stem types will be confirmed with a 2-way ANOVA model in which both time interval and stem type are independent variables.	Pre-operatively through 8 years post-operatively
Incidence of adverse local tissue reaction (ALTR)	To determine trends in the incidence of ALTR over time.	Pre-operatively through 8 years post-operatively
Implant survivorship	To determine implant survivorship, where an implant is considered to be surviving when none of the total hip replacement (THR) system components have been removed or replaced, so that the original system with metal-on-metal (MoM) articulating surfaces remains intact. Implant survivorship will be analyzed in two ways: 1) for all revisions (for any reason) and 2) for revisions due to ALTR.	Through 8 years post-operatively
To identify the incidence of ALTR among unrevised subjects	To identify the incidence of ALTR among unrevised subjects through physical examination and imaging.	Through 8 years post-operatively
Ion levels among revised subjects	To compare cobalt and chromium ion level (prior to revision) vs. baseline for subjects who are revised.	Pre-operatively through 8 years post-operatively
Harris Hip and HOOS analysis for pain, function and total score	To identify the incidence of pain or functional symptoms among unrevised subjects with a Harris Hip and HOOS evaluation. To compare cobalt and chromium ion levels for unrevised subject who are exhibiting pain or functional symptoms vs. unrevised subjects who are not exhibiting pain or functional symptoms.	Though 8 years post-operatively
To determine the association of adverse events with elevated ion levels	To investigate the association of adverse events with elevated cobalt and chromium ion levels. For each respective adverse event, to compare cobalt and chromium ion levels for subjects who have vs. subjects who have not exhibited the adverse event. For each respective adverse event category, to present summary statistics of cobalt and chromium ion levels for subjects who have vs. subjects who have not exhibited the adverse event, stratified by post-op time cohort.	Through 8 years post-operatively
Trending	Trends (over time since initial implant) will be evaluated for: 1) revisions (survivorship), 2) adverse events, 3) pain or functional symptoms (via Harris Hip and HOOS evaluations), 4) incidence of ALTR in unrevised subjects	Through 8 years post-operatively
Patient history and demographics and association with outcomes	Patient demographic and subject history will be evaluated for association with: 1) higher metal ion levels and 2) risk of revision.	Throughout 8 years post-operatively
Modes and causes of implant failure	To evaluate modes and causes of implant failure based on an analysis of reasonably available explanted retrieved devices.	Through 8 years post-operatively
Metal ion levels and association with reason for revision	To compare cobalt and chromium levels across the different reasons for revision.	Through 8 years post-operatively
Comparison of metal ion levels across subjects with vs. without ALTR	Cobalt and Chromium ion levels will be compared for unrevised subjects who were not diagnosed with an ALTR vs. unrevised subject who were diagnosed with an ALTR.	Through 8 years post-operatively
Ion level vs. baseline for ALTR subjects	To compare cobalt and chromium ion level vs. baseline for subject who are diagnosed with ALTR.	Through 8 years post-operatively
Ion level change from first measurement for ALTR subjects	Cobalt and chromium ion levels will be compared from first measurement to the time of revision (prior to revision) or the time of last follow-up visit in the study, whichever comes first, for subjects who are diagnosed with an ALTR.	Through 8 years post-operatively
