NCT01319227

Brief Summary

This is a randomized clinical trial comparing two different uncemented femoral stems and two different uncemented sockets using Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, Radiostereometry and clinical evaluation. Hypothesis:

  1. 1.A short uncemented stem gives less periprosthetic bone resorption in the proximal femur than a conventional uncemented stem.
  2. 2.An uncemented acetabular component with a backside of three-dimensional Titanium porous construct gives less periprosthetic bone resorption than a backside covered with a conventional porous coating with Titanium-beads and a hydroxy-apatite layer.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Bone remodelling, i e change in bone mineral density around the stem, as measured with dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)

    bone mineral density (BMD) measured postoperatively at 2 years.

  • Bone remodelling, i e change in bone mineral density behind the acetabular component, as measured with dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)

    bone mineral density (BMD) measured postoperatively at 2 years

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Migration of stem components in six degrees of freedom and maximum total point motion measured with radiostereometric analysis (RSA)

    at 2 years

  • Migration of acetabular components in six degrees of freedom and maximum total point motion of the head center measured with radiostereometric analysis (RSA)

    at 2 years

  • Migration of acetabular components in six degrees of freedom and maximum total point motion of the head center measured with radiostereometric analysis (RSA)

    at 6 and 10 years

  • Bone remodelling, i e change in bone mineral density around the stem and cup, as measured with dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)

    at 6 and 10 years.

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Clinical outcome measures with validated scores comparing patients receiving different stems and acetabular components

    Self administred validated score outcome measures after 6 weeks, after 3, 6, 12, 24 months and after 6 and 10 years

Study Arms (2)

Eligibility Criteria

Age40 Years - 70 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Age 40-70 years old
  • Primary osteoarthritis of the hip
  • Type A or B femur according to Dorr10
  • Femoral anatomy allowing implantation of both femoral stems
  • Willingness and ability to follow study-protocol -

You may not qualify if:

  • Inflammatory arthritis
  • Abnormal femoral anatomy after hip dysplasia, not suitable for implantation of components
  • Treatment with bisphosphonates, cortisol or cytostatic drugs 6 months prior to surgery
  • Ongoing oestrogen treatment
  • Type C femur according to Dorr
  • Not suited for the study for other reason (surgeons preference)
