Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Occurrence of periprosthetic joint infections

    Participants are monitored for 12 months after revision surgery. Every case of periprosthetic joint infection according to the definition of the EBJIS classification counts.

    12 months

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • Change of functional outcome over follow-up period (Harris Hip Score (HHS))

    2 years post operative

  • Changes in quality of life

    2 years post operative

  • Implant survival

    2 years post operative

  • Radiographic assessment

    2 years post operative

  • Occurrence of safety issues with the new device

    2 years post operative

  • +4 more secondary outcomes

Device: IP Plasmafit® Revision cup (and stem) system

Standard hip arthroplasty implants

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants receive a standard (uncoated) hip implant

Device: IP Plasmafit® Revision cup (and stem) system

Interventions

Revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) due to periprosthetic joint infection

Eligibility Criteria

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

You may qualify if:

  • Patients \> 18 years
  • Patients indicated for unilateral cementless acetabular and hip stem revision due to chronic periprosthetic infection (according to EBJIS definition): single-stage or two-stage surgical procedure according to clinical standard at the clinical investigation site
  • According to the assessment of the clinical investigator, the subject is therapy compliant and able to attend the follow-up visits
  • ASA physical status I - III
  • Patient's signed written informed consent is available

You may not qualify if:

  • Simultaneous participation in another interventional clinical trial (drugs or medical devices studies)
  • The investigational implant components (femoral and/or acetabular) are not suitable for the patient anatomy or bone defect
  • Patients who require plate osteosynthesis at the implantation site
  • Patients with an already implanted silver-coated device
  • Patients with immunodeficiency, i.e. patients currently receiving immunosuppressive therapy or patients with severe immunodeficiency requiring drug therapy
  • Patients currently undergoing cancer treatment, e.g. chemotherapy or radiation therapy
  • Severe soft tissue defects that require local or free flap procedure
  • Periprosthetic joint infections with evidence of fungal infection
  • Antibiotic suppression therapy
  • BMI \> 40 kg/m2
  • Pregnancy, breast-feeding, or women of childbearing potential and not taking adequate contraceptive precautions
  • Known or patient reported hypersensitivity to silver or titanium
  • Patients held in a custodial setting
  • Patients in a relationship of dependence on the sponsor, the clinic or the investigator
  • Patients with contraindication for the investigational and comparator devices:
  • +4 more criteria
