OPS™ With Direct Anterior Approach (DAA)

August 22, 2021 updated by: Corin

A Study to Demonstrate the Accuracy of the Femoral Neck Resection Compared to the Selected OPS™ Plan Using the Direct Anterior Approach (DAA)

A prospective, non-randomized, single-center clinical study to determine the accuracy of a patient-specific instrument (OPS™) for delivering a planned femoral component anteversion and neck resection using a Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) in Total Hip Arthroplasy.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Total Hip Replacement (THR) is the gold standard for treatment of severe arthritis of the hip as it relieves pain, restores function of the joint, and improves quality of life for patients. The restoration of hip mechanics can be influenced by the selected femoral stem design and also by choices made by the surgeon during the surgical implantation. The combination of femoral neck resection level and angle are key factors, particularly in cementless hip arthroplasty, in determining post-operative leg length and femoral anteversion. Historically, an estimation of prosthesis sizing and positioning has been made via a process of manual or digital templating either pre or intraoperatively using images of the implants positioned over the standard AP and lateral view hip x-rays taken in advance of surgery with generic instruments used during the surgery to execute the femoral head resection at the planned level. This process has a number of limitations. The OPS™ system utilizes detailed pre-operative imaging including a CT scan to generate a plan for the femoral neck resection level and angulation based on the anatomy of the individual patient. Following validation of this plan by the operating clinician, a patient specific femoral guide instrument is generated to help facilitate the reliable delivery of the planned resection intraoperatively. The purpose of this study will be to evaluate the use of the patient-specific femoral instrument in the hands of one surgeon using a protocol-specific choice of prosthesis combinations and one surgical approach. A total number of 100 subjects will be enrolled. Participants in this study will return for a single post-operative visit at 6 weeks to have x-rays taken and to enable any postoperative study hip-related complications recorded. Once this has been completed, participants will be routinely followed-up by their Orthopedic surgeon as required in accordance with the standard clinical practice.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Accuracy of the final osteotomy level compared to the selected OPS™ Plan
Time Frame: 2 weeks post-op (1 - 4 weeks post-op window)
Accuracy of the final osteotomy level compared to the selected OPS™ Plan (+ or - 3 mm). Two standard of care postoperative x-rays taken at 2 weeks will be used to evaluate the positioning of the total hip prosthesis from the resultant level of resection of the femoral neck. This parameter will be measured in mm.
2 weeks post-op (1 - 4 weeks post-op window)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Comparison of the femoral stem size implanted compared to the selected OPS™ Plan
Time Frame: Immediate postoperative
Comparison of the femoral stem size implanted compared to the selected OPS™ Plan preoperatively (± 1 size). The femoral stem size used during the operation will be compared to the one selected by the OPS™ Plan. This parameter will be measured in units.
Immediate postoperative
Comparison of the acetabular cup size implanted compared to the OPS™Plan
Time Frame: Immediate postoperative
Comparison of the acetabular cup size implanted compared to the OPS™Plan preoperatively. The acetabular cup size used during the operation will be compared to the one selected by the OPS™ Plan. This parameter will be measured in mm.
Immediate postoperative
Comparison of the femoral head size implanted compared to the selected OPS™ Plan
Time Frame: Immediate postoperative
Comparison of the femoral head size implanted compared to the selected OPS™ Plan. This parameter will be measured in mm.
Immediate postoperative
Measurement of any change in leg length / femoral head height compared to the preoperative OPS™ Plan
Time Frame: 2 weeks post-op (1 - 4 weeks post-op window)
Measurement of any change in leg length / femoral head height compared to the preoperative OPS™ Plan (+ or - 5 mm). The postoperative leg length / femoral head height will be measured in mm and compared to the preoperative value.
2 weeks post-op (1 - 4 weeks post-op window)
Comparison of the acetabular cup orientation to the selected OPS™ Plan
Time Frame: 2 weeks post-op (1 - 4 weeks post-op window)
Comparison of the acetabular cup orientation to the selected OPS™ Plan. The planned vs achieved acetabular cup orientation will be measured using 2D/3D registration software, in degrees.
2 weeks post-op (1 - 4 weeks post-op window)
