About this study

Official title: The Comparison of 32mm and 28mm Head Components in Alumina-alumina Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Randomized Clinical Trial

It has been postulated that use of a larger femoral head could reduce the risk of dislocation after total hip arthroplasty, but only limited clinical data have been presented in third generation alumina bearings.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of femoral head size for total hip arthroplasty using third generation alumina bearings on the joint stability and clinical results.

The investigators hypothesized that larger ceramic head group has a similar rate of dislocation and clinical results in smaller ceramic head group.

Being tested
32mm ceramic head group, 28mm ceramic head group

What participants receive

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

What is being measured

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

  1. rate of dislocation in each head size

    to evaluate the null hypothesis that the dislocation rate of larger ceramic head group is similar to smaller ceramic head group.

    Measured: 6 weeks

  2. rate of dislocation in each head size

    to evaluate the null hypothesis that the dislocation rate of larger ceramic head group is similar to smaller ceramic head group.

    Measured: 3 months

  3. rate of dislocation in each head size

    to evaluate the null hypothesis that the dislocation rate of larger ceramic head group is similar to smaller ceramic head group.

    Measured: 6 months

  4. rate of dislocation in each head size

    to evaluate the null hypothesis that the dislocation rate of larger ceramic head group is similar to smaller ceramic head group.

    Measured: 9 months

  5. rate of dislocation in each head size

    to evaluate the null hypothesis that the dislocation rate of larger ceramic head group is similar to smaller ceramic head group.

    Measured: 12 months

  6. rate of dislocation in each head size

    to evaluate the null hypothesis that the dislocation rate of larger ceramic head group is similar to smaller ceramic head group.

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. clinical results using Harris Hip Score

    to compare the clinical results such as pain, function, range of motion between both groups.

    Measured: 6 weeks

  2. clinical results using Harris Hip Score

    to compare the clinical results such as pain, function, range of motion between both groups.

    Measured: 3 months

  3. clinical results using Harris Hip Score

    to compare the clinical results such as pain, function, range of motion between both groups.

    Measured: 6 months

  4. clinical results using Harris Hip Score

    to compare the clinical results such as pain, function, range of motion between both groups.

    Measured: 9 months

  5. clinical results using Harris Hip Score

    to compare the clinical results such as pain, function, range of motion between both groups.

    Measured: 12 months

  6. clinical results using Harris Hip Score

    to compare the clinical results such as pain, function, range of motion between both groups.

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing 32mm ceramic head group and 28mm ceramic head group 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 20 Mar 2014. 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?

rate of dislocation in each head size (time frame: 6 weeks). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 20 Mar 2014.
