About this study

Official title: Wear Resistance of Highly Crosslinked Cemented Polyethylene Cups in Young Patients

This randomized controlled trial evaluated the long-term wear of cemented highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) versus conventional polyethylene (CPE) acetabular cups in patients under 50 years undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA).

All surgeries were performed at Radboud University Medical Center by three surgeons using a posterolateral approach. Acetabular components included either highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) cups (X3 RimFit) or conventional polyethylene (CPE) cups (Exeter Contemporary Flanged). Both were implanted with bone cement, and femoral components consisted of Exeter V40 stems with 28 mm cobalt-chromium heads. Impaction bone grafting (IBG) was routinely used, with mesh applied in cases of acetabular bone defects.

Radiographs were taken preoperatively and at 10-year follow-up using standardized protocols. Polyethylene wear was assessed with PolyWare software, creating 3D models from baseline and 10-year radiographs to calculate linear and volumetric wear. Cup inclination and osteolysis were evaluated in three acetabular zones (DeLee and Charnley classification).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Total hip arthroplasty using CPE and Total hip arthroplasty using HXLPE in people with Osteoarthritis, Hip, run by Radboud University Medical Center.

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 1 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 26 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Linear wear (mm/y) (time frame: 10 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 26 Nov 2024.
