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?

Alumina/Alumina articulation will perform as well as the alumina/polyethylene. (time frame: 5 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
