Trial summary

The aim of the study is to compare polyethylene wear in an uncemented total hip prosthesis with 3rd. generation highly cross-linked polyethylene with a 32 mm ceramic femoral head compared to a 36 mm ceramic head. Using X-ray, RSA and DEXA. The polyethylene to be used is E-Poly (Biomet). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparing Polyethylene Wear Using 3. Generation Highly Crosslinked Polyethylene in an Uncemented Total Hip Prostheses With Either 32 mm or 36 mm Caput of Ceramics

The aim of the study is to compare polyethylene wear in an uncemented total hip prosthesis with 3rd. generation highly cross-linked polyethylene with a 32 mm ceramic femoral head compared to a 36 mm ceramic head. Using X-ray, RSA and DEXA.

The polyethylene to be used is E-Poly (Biomet).

The H0 hypothesis is that there is no difference with regard to polyethylene wear and bone loss between the two groups.

Read the detailed description

Uncemented THA, 32 mm or 36 mm caput of ceramics, E-Poly inserts. Measure wear with RSA, X-Ray and bone mineral density with DEXA.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Total hip arthroplasty in people with Primary Arthrosis and Osteoarthritis, run by Lovisenberg Diakonale Hospital at 1 site in Norway.

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 2 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 7 Jan 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 Norway. 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?

Measure polyethylene wear and bone mineral density between the two groups (time frame: 2 year). 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 7 Jan 2011.
