About this study

Official title: Prospective Observational Case Series Analysing Outcomes of Primary Hip Arthroplasty With a Short Cemented Stem (Friendly Short)

Post-marketing observational case series to analyse the functional recover and radiographic outcomes in terms of implant stability and survivorship of primary hip arthroplasty with Friendly short cemented stem.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this case series is to verify the functional recover and radiographic outcomes of primary hip arthroplasty with Friendly short cemented stem.

This is a post-marketing clinical investigation, the product on study is CE marked and used according to the intended use.

It is a national, mono-centre, prospective, observational case series on 100 patients in 1 site.

Primary endpoint is to investigate clinical progression of patients with THA with Friendly short stem from baseline to 1-year follow-up.

The secondary endpoint is to evaluate implant stability and survivorship of implants up to 5 years Follow-up.

The evaluation has an internal control because the assessment of post-treatment data is compared to baseline measurements (pre-operative clinical analysis and radiographic analysis at discharge).

What is being measured

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

  1. change in percentage of the results of the absolute and weighted (age, gender) Harris Hip Score score from baseline to 1 year

    Measured: up to 5 years FU

  2. Change in percentage of the results of the Oxford Hip Score baseline to 1 year

    Measured: up to 5 years FU

  3. Change in Range Of Motion from baseline to 1 year.

    Measured: up to 5 years FU

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Radiographic stability

    rate of signs of subsidence > 2mm or tilting

    Measured: up to 5 years FU

  2. Rate of failure

    rate or revisions, loosening, failure of cement-stem interface, cement cracks, any definite change in the position of components

    Measured: up to 5 years FU

  3. Any possible adverse event or complication

    Measured: up to 5 years FU

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Total Hip Arthroplasty, run by Limacorporate S.p.a at 1 site in Italy.

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 7 inclusion and 9 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 3 Aug 2021. 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 Italy. 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?

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?

change in percentage of the results of the absolute and weighted (age, gender) Harris Hip Score score from baseline to 1 year (time frame: up to 5 years FU). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04987437, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 3 Aug 2021.
