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

Study population: Patients corresponding to the target treated population of the investigational medical devices, planned to be implanted with investigational medical devices per the Instructions for Use (IFU), who can participate to a clinical investigation, are not vulnerable and can meet the follow-up visits (a priori) and fulfil a self-assessment questionnaire will be included.

Who may be able to join

  • Male or female adults
  • Planned to be implanted with investigational medical devices per the IFUs:
  • Implantation in skeletally mature adults (usually aged 60-65 and over), with an extremely painful and/or disabled joint and insufficiently improved by alternative treatment options after an observation period lasting from a few weeks to a few months
  • Implantation of investigational medical devices as integrated systems (all components from SERF, no component from another manufacturer)
  • For an intended purpose and indication listed in the IFUs
  • Affiliated to French social security
  • Who provided a dated and signed informed consent form

Who cannot join

  • Patient protected by a French legal measure
  • Patient not able to express his/her consent as deemed by the investigator
  • Patient deprived of liberty or hospitalized without consent
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women
  • Patient contraindicated to investigational medical devices implantation per the IFUs
  • Patient contraindicated to radiographic follow-up
  • Patient a priori not able to meet the follow-up visits as deemed by the investigator
  • Patient not able to fulfil a self-assessment questionnaire as deemed by the investigator.

About this study

Official title: Hip Prospective Study: Long-term Post-market Clinical Follow-up on the Use of SERF Hip Prostheses

In an evaluation report dated 2014, the HAS (Haute Autorité de Santé -French National Authority for Health) highlights that long-term clinical data on hip prostheses are needed in the context of the French healthcare system. In addition, per the European Regulation 2017/745, medical devices manufacturers shall conduct Post-Market Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) on their devices or provide a justification why PMCF is not applicable.

Therefore, as part of the PMCF process of their hip prostheses, SERF wants to conduct a PMCF investigation to ensure the long-term real-life performance, safety and benefits of these prostheses.

HiPS is a non-comparative, prospective, multicentric, national, 15-year follow-up clinical investigation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Survival rate

    To assess the survival rate of the investigational medical devices at the end of their claimed implantation duration

    Measured: Per operative period to 15 years

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Intermediate survival rates

    To assess the survival rate of the investigational medical devices at the intermediate timepoints

    Measured: Per operative period to 10 years

  2. Functional improvement

    To assess the evolution of patient's functional capacity post-implantation using HOOS score

    Measured: Per operative period to 15 years

  3. Functional improvement

    To assess the evolution of patient's functional capacity post-implantation using Harris Hips score

    Measured: Per operative period to 15 years

  4. Functional improvement

    To assess the evolution of patient's activity post-implantation using UCLA scale

    Measured: Per operative period to 15 years

  5. Functional improvement

    To assess the evolution of patient's activity post-implantation using Charnley score

    Measured: Per operative period to 15 years

  6. Leg length discrepancy

    To assess patient's leg length discrepancy post-implantation (visual evaluation)

    Measured: Pre operative period to 15 years

  7. Patient's Pain

    To assess patient's pain (Visual Analogic Scale)

    Measured: Pre operative period to 15 years

  8. Patient's quality of life

    To assess patient's quality of life post-implantation (Forgotten Joint Score)

    Measured: Pre operative period to 15 years

  9. Patient's satisfaction

    To assess patients' satisfaction with the operation (4-points question)

    Measured: Post operative period to 15 years

  10. Surgeon's satisfaction

    To assess surgeons' satisfaction with the operation

    Measured: Per operative period to 15 years

  11. Adverse events

    To assess the long-term safety of investigational medical devices as well as post-operative safety of the surgery

    Measured: Per operative period to 15 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hip Arthropathy, run by Societe dEtude, de Recherche et de Fabrication at 1 site in France.

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 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Apr 2026. 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 France. 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 Clinical department (0472056010 ext. +33, clinical@serf.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Survival rate (time frame: Per operative period to 15 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 14 Apr 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 28 Oct 2026.
