Study summary

A Single-Center Randomized, Patient-Blinded, Prospective Five-Year Study to Compare the Functional Results after Insertion of ADM X3-MoP Cup (Stryker) and a CoC Cup (Zimmer) in Primary THA. 60 patients will be enrolled during a 2 year period. At surgery tantalum beads will be inserted into predrilled holes of the polyethylene rim for assessment of motion of the large mobile poly in the ADM Trident Cup by use of RSA. Patients will be followed by functional examinations as well as PROM assessment.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Motion analysis (accelerometer (Ax3 Axivity) based activity monitoring) — 5 year
  For all participants: Inertia sensors are a new technology for patient motion analysis which allows simple and fast routine clinical movement analysis and long-term activity monitoring. We will employ the newest generation of accelerometer (Ax3 Axivity) based activity monitoring (small, light, low cost, validated for orthopaedic patients also with walking aids) to count, in real life, the number of events and the duration of postures and activities. Further muscle power investigations such as by use of the legg extension power rig will be used.
• questionnaires ("the Harris Hip Score" (HHS), the Oxford Hip Score (OHS), the HOOS score, satisfaction, dislocation, and revisions) — 5 year
  For all participants: Pre- and postoperative clinical evaluations will be made according to "the Harris Hip Score" (HHS), the Oxford Hip Score (OHS), the HOOS score, and satisfaction, dislocations and revisions will be noted. Moreover, pre-operative rest and motion pains will be assessed by visual analogue scale scores (VAS).
• Radiography (implant migration and wear) — 5 year
  For all participants: Within a week following surgery a stereo x-ray is performed and this functions as the baseline for future follow-up (in this study at 1 year, 2 years and 5 years). When comparing all stereo x-rays in a patient series, implant migration with respect to a set of bone markers can be calculated in three dimensions as a function of time - similarly wear of the implant surfaces can be evaluated.Fluoroscopic stereoradiometric recordings (Dynamic RSA) can be used to assess the functional motion of implants at desired motion speeds. In this study we record the liner motion of the ADM cup with the patients in different positions that in theory stresses the motion of the liner into new positions at edge-motions. The purpose is to gain knowledge on the safety function of the implant in vivo - if the liner moves and if it positions safely like it is supposed to.
