About this study

Official title: Fitmore Hip Stem Post-Market Clinical Follow-Up (PMCF) Study

A multi-centre, non-comparative, prospective post-market clinical follow-up study to obtain survival, clinical and radiographic outcomes data on the Zimmer Fitmore Hip Stem.

Read the detailed description

The objective of this post market surveillance study is to obtain outcome data on the Fitmore Hip Stem by analysis of standard scoring systems, radiographs and adverse event records, and thus to assess the long-term performance and safety of this implant.

The Fitmore Hip Stem is a short and curved uncemented stem that allows preservation of the greater trochanter and of the gluteal muscles.

Indication/Target Population: Patients suffering from severe hip pain and disability requiring total hip arthroplasty.

Study Design: A multi-centre, non-comparative, prospective post-marketing study.

Targeted Number of Subjects: 500. Data Collection: Collection of preoperative, intra-operative and immediate post-operative data; follow-up visits at 6-12 weeks, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 and 10 years post-operatively.

Recruitment period: 24 months. Clinical Assessments: Evaluations will be made using the Harris Hip Score, the Oxford Hip Score, the SF-12 Physical and Mental Health summary measures, the EQ-5D (EuroQol) and radiographically.

Safety Assessments: Safety will be assessed by appropriate recording and reporting of adverse events throughout the study. The Fitmore Hip Stem is CE marked, commercially available and has been pre-clinically tested.

What is being measured

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

  1. Harris Hip Score

    The Harris hip Score (HHS) is an outcome measure that includes a series of questions answered by the patient and physical examinations recorded by a qualified health care Professional. The HHS covers four domains: pain (one item, 0-44 points), function and functional activities (seven items, 0-47 points), absence of deformity (one item, 0-4 points) and range of motion (one item, 0-5 points). The total score can vary from a range of 0 - 100. The outcome score can be categorized as Excellent: 90-100; Good: 80-90; Fair: 70-80; Poor: < 70.

    Measured: Preop, 6 - 12 weeks, 1 year, 2 year, 3 year, 5 year, 7 and 10 years

  2. Radiographic Evaluations

    Radiographic evaluation was assessed at the time points listed below in order to identify potential adverse events.

    Measured: 6 - 12 weeks and 7 years

  3. Survivorship

    The primary endpoint for this study is implant survival at 10 years which is assessed by revision of the Fitmore Hip Stem calculated using the Kaplan-Meier Survival Estimation. The survivorship with Kaplan-Meier (K-M) was calculated at 10 year for endpoint revision of any component.

    Measured: 10 years post surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. EQ5D

    The EuroQol 5 Dimension (EQ-5D) is a standardized Instrument widely used to measure health status. It is a self reported assessment about the patient's quality of life composed of two parts: a questionnaire and a visual analogue scale (VAS). The questionnaire includes 5 questions referring to mobility, selfcare, daily activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each question can be answered in five ways, indicating no, slight, moderate, severe problems or inability to complete the task. The EQ-5D-5L score ranges from -0.59 to 1, where 1 is the best possible health state. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is a vertical scale ranges from 100 ('The best health you can imagine') to 0 ('The worst health you can imagine') where the patient reports his/her self-rated health.

    Measured: Preop, 6-12 weeks, 1 Year, 2 Year, 3 Year, 5 Year, 7 Year and 10 Year

  2. SF-12 Physical and Mental Functional Scores

    The SF-12 is a multipurpose short-form (SF) generic measure of health status. It consists of twelve questions that measure eight health domains to assess physical and mental health. Physical health-related domains include General Health (GH), Physical Functioning (PF), Role Physical (RP), and Body Pain (BP). Mental health-related scales include Vitality (VT), Social Functioning (SF), Role Emotional (RE), and Mental Health (MH). Scores ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better physical and mental health functioning.

    Measured: Preop, 6-12 Weeks, 1 Year, 2 Year, 3 Year, 5 Year, 7 Year and 10 Year

  3. Oxford Hip Score

    The Oxford Hip Score (OHS) is a patient-reported outcome measure that was developed to specifically assess the patient's perspective of outcome following THA. The OHS consists of twelve questions covering function and pain associated with the hip. To calculate the total score, each response is scored from 0 (warst outcome) to 4 (best outcome) and the sum of all 12 items is reported with a maximum of 48, representing the best score possible. The Score ranges from 0 - 100 and the outcome score can be categorized as Excellent: > 41; Good: 34 - 41; Fair: 27 - 33; Poor: < 27.

    Measured: Preop, 6-12 Weeks, 1 Year, 2 Year, 3 Year, 5 Year, 7 Year and 10 Year

What does the primary outcome measure?

Harris Hip Score (time frame: Preop, 6 - 12 weeks, 1 year, 2 year, 3 year, 5 year, 7 and 10 years). The study lists 3 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?
