About this study

The implantation of artificial hip joints is one of the most frequently performed surgeries. Normally, patients are very satisfied with the results.

The MobileLink hip prosthesis system is a CE marked medical device. This means the the safety and performance of the prosthesis ist approved. Aim of the study is to collect clinical data about the outcome of the MobileLink hip prosthesis system under routine condition and to determine the satisfaction of the patients.

What participants receive

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

  • MobileLinkDevice

    Patients who receive a MobileLink hip prosthesis system will be followed-up for 10 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Survival rate of the complete MobileLink hip prosthesis system with revision for any reason as the endpoint,

    calculated with Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: 10-years

Secondary outcomes (19)
  1. Revision rates of the complete MobileLink acetabular cup system with revision for any reason except peri-prosthetic infections as the endpoint

    Measured: 3 months, 1 year, 3, 5, 7 and 10 years

  2. Revision rates of the MobileLink acetabular cup system shell(s) with revision for any reason as the endpoint

    Measured: 3 months, 1 year, 3, 5, 7 and 10 years

  3. Revision rates of the MobileLink acetabular cup system inserts (Ceramic, XLINKed, E-Dur) with revision for any reason as the endpoint

    Measured: 3 months, 1 year, 3, 5, 7 and 10 years

  4. Revision rates of the combined LINK hip stem(s) with revision for any reason as the endpoint

    Measured: 3 months, 1 year, 3, 5, 7 and 10 years

  5. Change of baseline hip functionality

    measured by the Harris Hip Score (HHS) (maximum 100 points, minimum 0 points, a higher score indicates a better outcome)

    Measured: pre-operatively and at the 3 months, 1 year, 3, 5, 7 and 10 year follow-up

  6. Change of baseline hip functionality

    measured by the Hip disability and osteoarthritis outcome score (HOOS), (maximum 100 points, minimum 0 points, a higher score indicates a better outcome)

    Measured: pre-operatively and at the 3 months, 1 year, 3, 5, 7 and 10 year follow-up

  7. Rate of complications and re-operations of the hip joint

    Measured: 3 months, 1 year, 3, 5, 7 and 10 year follow-up

  8. Rate of failed osteointegrated cups

    radiological assessment

    Measured: 3 months, 1 year, 3, 5, 7 and 10 year follow-up

  9. Rate of failed osteointegrated stems

    radiological assessment

    Measured: 3 months, 1 year, 3, 5, 7 and 10 year follow-up

  10. Change of postoperative cup position

    radiological assessment

    Measured: 3 months, 1 year, 3, 5, 7 and 10 year follow-up

  11. Change of postoperative stem position

    radiological assessment

    Measured: 3 months, 1 year, 3, 5, 7 and 10 year follow-up

  12. Occurence of heterotopic ossifications

    radiological assessment, classified according to Brooker

    Measured: 3 months, 1 year, 3, 5, 7 and 10 year follow-up

  13. Type and rate of complications with the used instruments related to usability and sterilization

    Measured: intraoperatively

  14. Survival rate of the complete MobileLink hip prosthesis system with revision for any reason as the endpoint

    calculated with Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: 3 month

  15. Survival rate of the complete MobileLink hip prosthesis system with revision for any reason as the endpoint

    calculated with Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: 1 year

  16. Survival rate of the complete MobileLink hip prosthesis system with revision for any reason as the endpoint

    calculated with Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: 3 year

  17. Survival rate of the complete MobileLink hip prosthesis system with revision for any reason as the endpoint

    calculated with Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: 5 year

  18. Survival rate of the complete MobileLink hip prosthesis system with revision for any reason as the endpoint

    calculated with Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: 7 year

  19. Survival rate of the complete MobileLink hip prosthesis system with revision for any reason as the endpoint

    calculated with Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: 10 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Osteoarthritis, Hip and Hip Osteoarthritis, run by Waldemar Link GmbH & Co. KG at 2 sites in 2 countries.

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 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Lisa Skottke, PhD (+494053995673, l.skottke@link-ortho.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Survival rate of the complete MobileLink hip prosthesis system with revision for any reason as the endpoint, (time frame: 10-years). 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 25 Jan 2024.
