About this study

Official title: Cementless New Alumina-zirconia(4th Generation Ceramic Bearing) Composite Ceramic Bearing Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) in Asian Patients : a 10 Year Minimum Follow-up Study

This study will evaluate a midterm clinical and radiologic outcome patients who undergo new alumina-zirconia composite ceramic bearing THA.

Read the detailed description

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) using a metal-on-polyethylene articulation has become one of the most effective procedures for the surgical treatment for end-stage hip disease.

However, polyethylene wear debris-induced osteolysis has been postulated to cause/contribute to the aseptic loosening of a THA, and hence, is regarded to be an important factor in its in vivo longevity.

In the third generation of ceramic manufacturing, many improvements, such as hot isostatic pressing, laser marking, and non destructive proof-testing for all ceramic components, have been introduced. This third generation ceramic component has high purity, high density, and small grain size, and, therefore, has a very high potential for resisting crack propagation, which may culminate in its fracture. In spite of this, a number of substantial concerns, such as ceramic fracture, impingement-associated fatigue failure, wear, and osteolysis after long-term follow-up, persist with the use of ceramics in THA.

In addition, the third generation ceramic articulation is associated with an increased incidence of dislocation because ceramic liners with elevated rim and extended-long-neck ceramic heads are not available.

However, new alumina-zirconia composites bearing implants (4th generation ceramic bearing) affords various options such as large head and thin liner, which may decrease the ceramic fracture rate and dislocation rate and improve the longevity of THA. In addition, large head can improve the range of motion and possible traditional cross-legged sitting position of Koreans without impingement between the neck and liner rim.

So far, the patients who are underwent THA using 28 mm femoral head diameter complains limitation of range of motion and feeling impingement sensation at sitting on the floor with their legs crossed. There have been increasing complaints especially from Korean patients regarding the difficulties associated with carrying out their daily activities, whose life style involves sitting on the floor with their legs crossed. Therefore, large head of new alumina-zirconia composites bearing implants(4th generation ceramic bearing) expects increasing satisfaction of Korean patients.

This is the first study, to our knowledge, of an evaluation of clinical outcome of THA with use of the new alumina-zirconia(4th generation ceramic bearing) composite ceramic bearing and the functional outcome.

What is being measured

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

  1. Survival rate of THA with use of the new alumina-zirconia(4th generation ceramic bearing) composite ceramic bearing at a minimum of 10 years follow-up.

    Measured: up to 10 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. The performance in patients younger than 50 years at 10 years follow up

    Measured: Follow-up evaluations will be performed at six weeks; at three, six, nine, and twelve months and every 12 months thereafter.

  2. Evaluation between preoperative and postoperative of Harris hip score, UCLA activity score, WOMAC, and Subject satisfaction score at a minimum of 5 years follow-up.

    Measured: Follow-up evaluations will be performed at six weeks; at three, six, nine, and twelve months and every 12 months thereafter.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 4th generation ceramic bearing composite ceramic bearing in people with Arthroplasty, Replacement, Hip, run by Seoul National University Bundang Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 6 inclusion and 4 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 2 Feb 2022. 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 South Korea. 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?

Survival rate of THA with use of the new alumina-zirconia(4th generation ceramic bearing) composite ceramic bearing at a minimum of 10 years follow-up. (time frame: up to 10 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 2 Feb 2022.
