NCT03113981

Brief Summary

The infection rate after Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) is about 1%. It is a serious condition, with high morbidity, sometimes fatal, requiring costly treatment. The treatment is difficult because "biofilm" forms very early after the bacterial contamination of the prosthesis. Prevent infection means reduce or prevent the formation of bacterial biofilm and controlling protein response to allow osseous-integration of the prosthesis. A new prosthesis was developped, grafted by PolyNaSS (polysodium styrenesulfonate). This bioactive polymer allows to substantially reduce bacterial adhesion and increase biocompatibility and bio-integration in preclinical studies. This first clinical study aims to compare the osseous-integration of this prosthesis to the same prothesis with no grafting. No previous clinical trial

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Osseous-integration of the femoral stem and the acetabular component

    (Yes/No). THA will be judged "osseointegrated" if the acetabulum AND the femur meet the following osseous-integration criteria: * femur: score of Engh and Massin strictly greater than 10 * AND acetabulum: Implant migration less than 5 mm AND no total radiolucent line and no osteocondensation at the bone-cup interface in the 3 zones of Gruen

    1 year post-surgery for both groups

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • Mid-term survival rate of the hip prosthesis

    15 years post-surgery for CERAFIT group and 16 years post-surgery for ACTISURF group

  • Score ARA femur of Epinette

    1 year post-surgery for both groups

  • Hip prosthesis infection rate defined according to the 2011 criteria of the Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS). In case of suspicion of infection, a hip joint aspiration with synovial fluid culture will be performed.

    2 years post-surgery for both groups

  • Postel Merle d'Aubigné (PMA) score

    2 years post-surgery for both groups. 5, 10 years post-surgery for CERAFIT group. 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 years post-surgery for ACTISURF group.

  • Harris Hip Score (HHS)

    2 years post-surgery for both groups. 5, 10 years post-surgery for CERAFIT group. 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 years post-surgery for ACTISURF group.

  • +4 more secondary outcomes

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

You may qualify if:

  • Patients aged over 50 and under 75 years OR aged under 50 years with joint lesions not amenable to successful conservative treatment.
  • THA following a primary or secondary osteoarthritis
  • THA following an aseptic osteonecrosis

  • Infectious hip arthritis history
  • Evolving infection of the articulation or peri-articular region involved, including severe neuroarthropathy
  • Surgical history on the affected hip
  • Allergy known to any component of prostheses

  • Significant muscle loss, neuromuscular injury or vascular insufficiency of affected limb
  • Charcot's disease
  • +4 more criteria
