May 19, 2025 updated by: Smith & Nephew Medical (Shanghai) Ltd

A Prospective, Multi-center, Randomized, Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of the OR3O™ Dual Mobility System Versus Conventional Single Bearing Design Total Hip System in Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) Procedures.

The purpose of this study is to compare OR3O™ Dual Mobility System to a conventional, single-bearing design Total Hip System in subjects who undergo Primary THA. Data collected in this study will be used to support National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) regulatory approval of OR3O™ Dual Mobility System in China as well as to support and maintain product registration in global markets.

Primary Objective: Assess safety and efficacy of the OR3O™ Dual Mobility System in Primary THA at 1 year postoperative.

Secondary Objective(s): Assess safety and efficacy of the OR3O™ Dual Mobility System and compatible components in Primary THA up to 2 years after surgery.

Other Objective(s): Assess the hip dislocation and hospital readmission up to 2 years after device implantation.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description

Time Frame: 12 months

Number of participants with an excellent (≥ 90) or good (80-89) Harris Hip Score at 12 months postoperative (No/Yes).

The Harris Hip Score is a joint specific score that consists of 10 items covering domains of pain (1 item, 0-44 points), function (7 items, 0-47 points), functional activities, absence of deformity (1 item, 0 or 4 points), and hip range of motion (2 items, 0-5 points). Scores range from 0 (worst) to 100 (best).

EuroQol (European Quality of Life) Five-dimensional Five-level (EQ-5D-5L) Score: Health Score
Time Frame: Preoperative, 6 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months
The EQ-5D-5L is composed of the EQ-5D-5L descriptive system and the EQ Visual Analogue scale (EQ VAS). The descriptive system comprises 5 dimensions (mobility, self care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression) to create a combined Health Score. The combined Health Score is on a scale of 0 to 1 with a higher score indicating a better outcome.
Preoperative, 6 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months
Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement (HOOS JR.)
Time Frame: Preoperative, 6 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months
The HOOS JR. is a short-form survey based on the Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) that specifically focuses on the outcome after Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA). HOOS JR. accesses pain and joint awareness during the activities of daily living. The scores range from 0 to 100 with 0 indicating total hip disability (i.e., the worst outcome) and 100 indicating perfect hip health (i.e., the best outcome).
Preoperative, 6 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months
Radiographic Assessment - Implant Position/Orientation
