Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Primary THA for a diagnosis of osteoarthritis or inflammatory arthritis in the setting of a history of prior lumbar or lumbosacral fusion performed at least 6 months prior to their THA. In addition, patients considered high-risk for potential prosthetic dislocation will be included based on the presence of one or more of the following: neuromuscular disorder (e.g. cerebral palsy, Parkinson's disease, history of a stroke), dementia or cognitive impairment, substance or alcohol abuse (>10 drinks per week), acute displaced femoral neck fracture, age > 75 years, inflammatory arthritis, and increased preoperative range of motion (calculated as described by Krenzel et al.: combined flexion, adduction, internal rotation > 115 degrees).

Who cannot join

  • Less than 18 years of age
  • Revision THA
  • spinopelvic fusion that is more recent than 6 months prior to THA
  • isolated cervical or thoracic fusion
  • intent to undergo a revision spinopelvic fusion within one year of their index THA
  • a history of prior infection in the affected hip
  • a history of prior open surgery on the affected hip (i.e. prior proximal femur fracture or osteotomy)

About this study

Official title: Dual-mobility vs. Single-bearing Components in THA at "High Risk" for Prosthetic Dislocation

The aim of this study is to compare clinical outcomes of patients considered to be high risk for prosthetic dislocation undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) with the use of a dual mobility bearing versus a conventional, single bearing design.

Read the detailed description

This study aims to compare the clinical outcomes of patients considered to be at high risk for prosthetic dislocation undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) with the use of a dual mobility bearing versus a conventional, single-bearing design.

We hypothesize that in primary THA patients considered to be at high risk for prosthetic dislocation, the use of dual-mobility components will be associated with a lower dislocation rate in the first year following the index procedure. We do not anticipate a difference. In other clinical outcome measures or functional outcome scores between the two cohorts.

Study Design: Randomized controlled trial with two groups: THA with dual mobility.

What participants receive

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

  • Dual mobility implantDevice

    Patients that are eligible and consent to the study will be randomized to receive either a dual mobility implant or a traditional single-bearing hip implant. This group is for the dual mobility implant

  • Traditional, Single-bearing hip implantDevice

    Patients that are eligible and consent to the study will be randomized to receive either a dual mobility implant or a traditional single-bearing hip implant. This group is for the dual mobility implant

What is being measured

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

  1. Hip Dislocation

    The rate of prosthetic dislocation between the two cohorts

    Measured: 6 weeks following their index surgical procedure.

  2. Hip Dislocation

    The rate of prosthetic dislocation between the two cohorts

    Measured: 1 year following their index surgical procedure.

  3. Hip Dislocation

    The rate of prosthetic dislocation between the two cohorts

    Measured: 2 years following their index surgical procedure.

  4. Hip Dislocation

    The rate of prosthetic dislocation between the two cohorts

    Measured: 5 years following their index surgical procedure.

  5. Hip Dislocation

    The rate of prosthetic dislocation between the two cohorts

    Measured: 10 years following their index surgical procedure.

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Complications

    Any peri- or postoperative complications will be recorded component loosening, occurrence of intraprosthetic dislocation, infection, periprosthetic fractures, revision rates

    Measured: Complications will be assess up to 10 years following their index surgical procedure

  2. Radiographic signs of loosening and proper component placement.

    Routine radiographs (AP Pelvis, frogleg lateral, and cross-table lateral radiographs) will be obtained at follow-up visits and assessed for cup placement, anteversion, radiographic signs of loosening, and component migration. These radiographs will be assess for the presence of loosening in a yes/no format

    Measured: 6 weeks following their index surgical procedure.

  3. Radiographic signs of loosening and proper component placement.

    Routine radiographs (AP Pelvis, frogleg lateral, and cross-table lateral radiographs) will be obtained at follow-up visits and assessed for cup placement, anteversion, radiographic signs of loosening, and component migration. These radiographs will be assess for the presence of loosening in a yes/no format

    Measured: 1 year following their index surgical procedure.

  4. Radiographic signs of loosening and proper component placement.

    Routine radiographs (AP Pelvis, frogleg lateral, and cross-table lateral radiographs) will be obtained at follow-up visits and assessed for cup placement, anteversion, radiographic signs of loosening, and component migration. These radiographs will be assess for the presence of loosening in a yes/no format

    Measured: 2 years following their index surgical procedure.

  5. Radiographic signs of loosening and proper component placement.

    Routine radiographs (AP Pelvis, frogleg lateral, and cross-table lateral radiographs) will be obtained at follow-up visits and assessed for cup placement, anteversion, radiographic signs of loosening, and component migration.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Dual mobility implant and Traditional, Single-bearing hip implant in people with Dislocation, Hip, run by Rush University Medical Center at 4 sites in United States.

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 8 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jun 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Hip Dislocation (time frame: 6 weeks following their index surgical procedure.). The study lists 5 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 26 Jun 2025.
