About this study

Official title: Periprosthetic Bone Mineral Changes Around Stemless and Stemmed Cementless Femoral Components

The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a difference in stress shielding and bone resorption of the proximal femur in two anatomical stem total hip designs.

Read the detailed description

Stress shielding related bone resorption in the proximal femur after total hip arthroplasty continues to be a problem. The purpose of this prospective, randomized study was to evaluate which of the two anatomical stem designs achieved a more physiological load transfer by assessing bone mineral changes in the proximal femur after stem implantation.

Being tested
Stemless femoral component, IPS, Depuy cementless femoral stem
Keywords
Stress shielding, Bone mineral density, stemless femoral component
Medical subject headings
Osteoarthritis, Hip

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Stemless femoral componentDevice

    Also called PROXIMA, DePuy stem,

    Total hip femoral component anatomically designed for a proximal fit without a stem

  • IPS, Depuy cementless femoral stemDevice

    Also called IPS, Depuy anatomical proximal fit stemmed femoral component

    Anatomical proximal fitted cementless stemmed femoral component

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Stemless femoral component and IPS, Depuy cementless femoral stem in people with Osteoarthritis of Hip, run by Ewha Womans University 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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Aug 2009. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Bone mineral density of surrounding proximal femur according to Gruen zones (time frame: At least 2years after surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00957970, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 13 Aug 2009.
