Avenir Complete Post-Market Clinical Follow-Up Study

June 13, 2025 updated by: Zimmer Biomet

Global, Multicenter, and Prospective Post-Market Clinical Follow-Up Study of the Avenir Complete™ Femoral Stem (Implants and Instrumentation)

The main objectives of this study are to confirm the long-term safety, performance and clinical benefits the Avenir Complete femoral stem and its instrumentation when used in primary total, hemi, and revision hip arthroplasty.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The main objectives of this study are to confirm the long-term safety, performance and clinical benefits the Avenir Complete™ femoral stem and its instrumentation when used in primary total, hemi, and revision hip arthroplasty:

The primary endpoint is defined by the survival of the implant system at 10 years, which is based on the removal or intended removal of the "study device and determined using Kaplan Meier method. The safety of the system will be assessed by monitoring the frequency and incidence of adverse events. Relation of the events to implant, instrumentation and/or procedure should be specified.

The secondary endpoints are the assessment of performance and clinical benefits by recording patient-reported clinical outcomes measures (PROMs) as well as radiographic outcomes (if available).

  • Pregnancy;
  • Skeletal immaturity.
  • Patients unwilling or unable to give consent, or to comply with the follow-up program;

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Survival of the study device; whether or not it is still implanted in the subject
Time Frame: 10 years
Survival is classified as removal of the study device for any reason
10 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incidence of treatment-emergent Adverse Events (safety)
Time Frame: 10 years
Safety is assessed by monitoring the frequency and incidence of all adverse events, with particular focus on those that may be related to the study device.
10 years
Harris Hip Score
Time Frame: 3 years
Functional outcomes are measured with the Harris Hip Score, including range of motion, pain level, activity levels and patient satisfaction. The score has a maximum of 100 points (best possible outcome) covering pain (1 item, 0-44 points), function (7 items, 0-47 points), absence of deformity (1 item, 4 points), and range of motion (2 items, 5 points).
3 years
Patient Quality of Life
Time Frame: 10 years

This is another self-assessment by means of the EQ-5D-5L (EuroQol) score, which measures the patient's perceived quality of life.

EQ VAS: Score between 0 and 100 recorded by an individual, 100 being the highest.

EQ 5D Value: "The value attached to an EQ-5D profile according to a set of weights that reflect, on average, people's preferences about how good or bad the state is. Values are anchored at 1 (full health) and 0 (a state as bad as being dead)" https://euroqol.org/support/terminology/

10 years
Radiographic analysis
Time Frame: 10 years
Postoperative radiographs will be analyzed by the Investigator
10 years
Oxford Hip Score
Time Frame: 10 years

The Oxford Hip Score (OHS) is a joint-specific, patient-reported outcome measure tool designed to assess disability in patients undergoing total hip replacement.

The score is measured on a scale of 0 to 48 with 48 being the best outcome.
