About this study

Official title: Risk of Dislocation After Total Hip Replacement: Dual Mobility Cup vs. Unipolar Cup. A Randomized Controlled Trial With Patients ≥65 Years Operated for Hip Osteoarthritis With Primary Total Hip Replacement (THR).

The general purpose of this study is to examine whether the dual mobility cup (Novae® Serf) reduces the number of hip dislocations after total hip replacement, both early dislocation (≤1 year) and late dislocation (>1 year) after primary THR compared with a conventional cup design (Trabecular MetalTM Modular Acetabular System).

Read the detailed description

Surgery with THR for arthritis and other hip disorders has long been one of the most successful orthopedic surgical treatments. The majority of the patients gain pain relief and experience improved hip function. In 2017, a total of 10,691 THRs were implanted in Denmark (annual report 2018).

Hip dislocation is a known complication after THR. It is a painful condition which may have far-reaching consequences for the patient, who may experience both physical and mental discomfort. Ultimately, multiple hip dislocations may result in reoperation.

In the literature, the incidence of hip dislocation is reported at 2-6 %, and a more recent review reports a risk of 0.5-10 %.

In Denmark, recurrent hip dislocation is the cause of 21 % of the reoperations per year according to The Danish Hip Arthroplasty Register. According to the British National Joint Registry (NJR) and the Australian register (AOANJRR), hip dislocation is the cause of 15.5 % and 21 %, respectively, of the reoperations.

The best method to avoid reoperation due to instability is to choose the correct implant for the individual patient and thereby spare the patient of having to endure a painful complication and yet another procedure. There are multiple risk factors for instability after THR, and increased use of dual mobility cups (DMC) is already documented.

What is being measured

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

  1. Early dislocation, Difference in dislocation within 1 year.

    The primary outcome is the difference in cumulative incidence proportion of dislocation between the 2 randomized groups within the first year after total hip replacement. The information will be collected from both the patient through questionnaires and from the Danish Hip Arthroplasty Register and the Danish National Patient Register.

    Measured: 1 year after surgery

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Difference in dislocation within 5 years

    The difference in cumulative incidence proportion of dislocation between the 2 randomized groups within 5 years after total hip replacement. The information will be collected from both the patient through questionnaires and from the Danish Hip Arthroplasty Register and the Danish National Patient Register.

    Measured: 5 years after surgery

  2. Dislocation 10 year

    The difference in cumulative incidence proportion of dislocation between the 2 randomized groups within 10 years after total hip replacement. The information will be collected from both the patient through questionnaires and from the Danish Hip Arthroplasty Register and the Danish National Patient Register.

    Measured: 10 years after surgery

  3. Prosthesis survival.

    Evaluated by the cumulative incidence of THR's reoperated within 1, 5 and 10 years after total hip replacement. The information will be collected from both the patient through questionnaires and from the Danish Hip Arthroplasty Register and the Danish National Patient Register.

    Measured: 1, 5 and 10 year

  4. Patient reported outcome measure: European quality of life 5 dimensions (EQ-5D 5L)

    Patients will be scored with EQ-5D 5L preoperatively and at 1,5 and 10 years. It consists of 5 dimensions ranging from 1-5, with 1 being the best in each dimension. It also consist of a visual analog scale ranging from 0-100, 100 being the best imaginable health, The EQ VAS describes the respondents current overall health. Data will be showed as changes in health over time showing responses at baseline and at follow up or as frequencies and proportions reported by dimension and level.

    Measured: 1, 5 and 10 years

  5. Patient reported outcome measure: Oxford Hip Score (OHS)

    Patients will be scored with OHS at baseline and at 1, 5 and 10 years. OHS is a patient-recorded outcome measure designed to assess the outcome of hip replacements. Its a score between 0-48 with 48 being the best.

    Measured: 1, 5 and 10 years

  6. Patient reported outcome measures: The Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS)

    HAGOS pain subscale will be used to report pain pre and postoperatively. The score in the pain subscale ranges from 0 (extreme hip/groin problems) -100 (no hip/groin problems).

    Measured: 1, 5 and 10 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing dual mobility cup and unipolar cup in people with Dislocation, Hip, run by Northern Orthopaedic Division, Denmark at 1 site in Denmark.

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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Mar 2023. 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 Denmark. 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?

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?

Contact Anders Diernæs, MD (+4597662503, anders.diernaes@rn.dk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Early dislocation, Difference in dislocation within 1 year. (time frame: 1 year after surgery). 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 27 Mar 2023.
