NCT00318396

Brief Summary

This is a prospective, randomized study comparing two different bone preparation techniques for insertion of a hydroxylapatite (HA) coated titanium cementless femoral stem. Patients who receive a unilateral total hip replacement are randomized to either conventional broaching or compaction. Hypothesis: Compaction results in significantly less stem migration \[evaluated by radiostereometric analysis (RSA)\], less peri-prosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) loss \[evaluated by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)\], and a higher Harris hip score after two years.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • To examine a possible difference in density of bones around implantation of femoral component.

    A check-up by means of DEXA scanning after 1 week, 1 year, 2 years and 5 years.

    5 years

Study Arms (2)

Compaction

EXPERIMENTAL

The bone is pressed very hard together before implantation of femoral component.

Procedure: Bone preparation technique: compaction

Conventional technique

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The bone is broached before implantation of femoral component.

Procedure: Bone preparation technique: conventional technique

Interventions

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 70 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients with primary arthritis in the hip
  • Patients with sufficient bone density to allow uncemented implantation of a femoral component
  • Informed patient consent in writing

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients with neuromuscular or vascular disease in the affected leg
  • Patients found upon operation to be unsuited for uncemented acetabulum component
  • Patients who regularly take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and cannot interrupt intake for the postoperative phase of the study
  • Patients with fracture sequelae
  • Female patients of childbearing capacity
  • Hip joint dysplasia
  • Sequelae to previous hip joint disorder in childhood
