Comparison of Conventional and Large Diameter Femoral Heads for the Prevention of Hip Dislocation

A study testing Large Diameter Femoral Head in people with Hip Dislocation, run by University of British Columbia at 1 site in Canada.

Unknown status

Status not confirmed. The sponsor has not verified this record for over two years, so it may be out of date.

Trial summary

About ten percent of revision hip replacements will dislocate. Although dislocation is not a life-threatening problem, it is stressful and costly and requires hospitalization to treat. Subjects who have repeated dislocations live with the constant fear of another dislocation. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 19 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Eligible patients will be those undergoing revision hip arthroplasty, either first revision or subsequent re-revision.
  • Revision must require replacement of both the acetabular component and femoral component, except when revising femur only with well-fixed Trilogy socket.
  • The acetabular component must have a minimum outer diameter of 50 mm.
  • The femoral component inserted should be a Zimmer Versys™ beaded full-coated stem or Zimmer ZMR™ stem or collarless polished taper (CPT™)
  • Patients must be able to reply to questionnaires in either French or English.

Who cannot join

  • Patients who are undergoing revision for recurrent dislocation.
  • Revision of the acetabulum requiring structural allograft or reconstruction ring.
  • Revision of the acetabulum requiring the use of cemented all-polyethylene cups.
  • Revision of the acetabulum using a liner cemented into an existing metal shell.
  • Intra-operative decision to use a constrained liner.

About this study

Official title: A Randomized Multi-Centre Controlled Trial of Large Diameter (36/40 mm) Versus Conventional Diameter (32 mm) Femoral Heads for the Prevention of Post Revision Arthroplasty Dislocation

About ten percent of revision hip replacements will dislocate. Although dislocation is not a life-threatening problem, it is stressful and costly and requires hospitalization to treat. Subjects who have repeated dislocations live with the constant fear of another dislocation. The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of a large ball prosthesis in preventing post-surgical dislocation. A large diameter ball has greater freedom of movement before it impinges; therefore, theoretically, it should not dislocate as easily.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To compare the difference in dislocation rate between those receiving a large ball (36/40 mm femoral head) versus those receiving a 32 mm femoral head in patients who undergo revision hip arthroplasty

    Measured: at two years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. To compare polyethylene wear in the two groups

  2. To compare the difference in functional and quality of life measures in the two groups

    Measured: at 3, 12 and 24 months post surgery

  3. To compare radiographic findings in the two groups

  4. To estimate the rate of re-revision in the two groups

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Large Diameter Femoral Head in people with Hip Dislocation, run by University of British Columbia at 1 site in Canada.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Sep 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To compare the difference in dislocation rate between those receiving a large ball (36/40 mm femoral head) versus those receiving a 32 mm femoral head in patients who undergo revision hip arthroplasty (time frame: at two years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Sep 2011.
