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 Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients previously recruited to a prospective RCT (NCT03558217), will be eligible to participate in this study. These patients were recruited preoperatively and underwent total hip arthroplasty using either the direct anterior or the direct lateral surgical approach. Each patient was also randomized to either receive a collared or collarless stem design. In the original study, patients were followed up until two-years postoperation, where the primary outcome measure was implant migration compared between surgical approach and implant design.

Who may be able to join

  • Participated in the originally investigated cohort.
  • Minimum of 4-5 years post-operation

Who cannot join

  • Pregnancy
  • Unable to attend follow-up

About this study

Official title: 5 Year Migration of Collared or Collarless Corail Stems Following THA

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is the mainstay, definitive management for end-stage hip osteoarthritis. Despite improvements of surgical and patient factors, prosthesis-related complications continue to increase in number. This is contributed to by the greater number of such surgeries being completed, larger proportion of elderly individuals among the population, and younger patient age being offered surgical intervention. Specifically, implant loosening and associated migration, is the pathology most commonly yielding revision surgery. A previous study assessing migration of total hip prostheses found that the greatest degree of migration occurred in the first 2 weeks postoperatively, although implants were considered overall stable 2 year following surgery. Continued evaluation of implant migration at time points further from surgery, specifically at 5 years postoperatively, offers insight into long term complications rates. Assessing implant migration will be completed using various imaging modalities, radiostereometric analysis (RSA) and computed tomography (CT). Comparisons between RSA and CT imaging will allow for greater analysis with regards to characterization of implant migration and associated bony changes. Additionally, an individual's gut microbiome has been shown to correspond to their inflammatory and immune profile. Association between gut microbiome profile and implant migration will be assessed to determine if underlying relationship does exist.

What participants receive

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

  • Standard Post-Operative Clinic VisitOther

    In clinic, the joint will be assessed (ROM, stability testing), standard X-rays will be taken of the joint, and patient reported outcomes (questionnaires) will be completed by patient (WOMAC, UCLA, VR12, EQ5D, Oxford Hip).

  • Study-Specific OutcomesOther

    Patients will complete additional questionnaires (SF12 and HHS), will undergo RSA and CT imaging for implant stability analysis, and will provide a stool sample for gut microbiome analysis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Implant Migration

    Measure implant migration that has occurred up until 5-years post-operation using RSA.

    Measured: at 5-years post-THA

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. WOMAC Score

    Assess the WOMAC clinical outcome questionnaire of the originally investigated cohort at 5 years post-operation compared to pre-surgery and early post-surgery.

    Measured: at 5-years post-THA

  2. SF12 Score

    Assess the SF-12 clinical outcome questionnaire of the originally investigated cohort at 5 years post-operation compared to pre-surgery and early post-surgery.

    Measured: at 5-years post-THA

  3. HSS Score

    Assess the HHS clinical outcome questionnaire of the originally investigated cohort at 5 years post-operation compared to pre-surgery and early post-surgery.

    Measured: at 5-years post-THA

  4. UCLA Score

    Assess the UCLA clinical outcome questionnaire of the originally investigated cohort at 5 years post-operation compared to pre-surgery and early post-surgery.

    Measured: at 5-years post-THA

  5. Inducible Displacement

    Compare the amount of inducible displacement measured between supine and weight bearing RSA and between internal and external rotation CT exams to validate the accuracy and precision of CT for implant migration analysis.

    Measured: at 5-years post-THA

  6. Joint Imaging Features

    Correlate CT-based measurements of bone density and texture features with the magnitude of implant migration using slicer (slicer.org) software to segment and analyze the CT images.

    Measured: at 5-years post-THA

  7. Gut Microbiome Analysis

    Correlate gut microbiome biomarkers for osteoporosis with the magnitude of implant migration by analyzing the microbial DNA in stool samples. The Shannon index for microbial diversity will be calculated and then correlated to the magnitude of migration.

    Measured: at 5-years post-THA

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Total Hip Arthroplasty, run by London Health Sciences Centre Research Institute OR Lawson Research Institute of St. Joseph's at 1 site in Canada.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 9 Apr 2025. 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 Canada. 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?

Implant Migration (time frame: at 5-years post-THA). 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 NCT05893563, 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 9 Apr 2025.
