Filter by:To demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Trinity™ BIOLOX delta™ Ceramic-on-Ceramic Total Hip System in comparison to the Trinity™ Acetabular Hip System,which is FDA cleared for use in the U.S. The comparison will be based upon clinical success at the Month 24 endpoint.
Hip replacement is a common surgical procedure performed to relieve the pain and disability. In general, the surgery consists of replacing the diseased or damaged joint surfaces of the hip with metal and plastic components shaped to allow continued motion of the hip. Surgeons may perform this operation in several different ways. The purpose of this study is to compare two different methods of performing total hip replacement. The investigators hypothesize that subjects treated with the anterior approached may show improved function during the early postoperative period, but that no differences in pain or function will be present after the first postoperative year. In this study, patients that have elected to have hip replacement and consented to participate in the study will be randomized to have his or her hip replaced using one of two surgical techniques. Subjects will be randomized to be implanted using either an anterior or posterior approach. With the anterior approach, the study surgeon will use an incision that is on the front of the hip, and with the posterior approach, the incision will be more on the backside of your hip. The study surgeon has done more than 300 total hip replacements with both of these techniques. A baseline assessment will be conducted before hip replacement surgery that includes x-rays, functional tasks like getting up from a chair and stepping down a step, and three questionnaires about the hip, the subject's general health, and how well the subject is able to function. Also, subjects will be required to return to the clinic at several time points after surgery for follow-up visits. Follow-up visits will include hip assessments and questionnaires, as well as follow-up hip x-rays. The follow-up visits will be 6 weeks, 3 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, 7 years, and 10 years after hip replacement surgery. These follow-up visits are part of the study surgeon's normal routine for hip replacement patients, and are not extra visits as a part of this study.
This post market clinical follow-up study is designed to confirm safety and performance of the Sidus Stem-Free Shoulder when used in hemi or total shoulder arthroplasty. The safety of the implant will be evaluated by monitoring the frequency and incidence of all kinds of adverse events. The performance will be determined by analyzing the implant survival, overall pain and functional performances (based on Constant & Murley score and ASES score), subject quality of life (EuroQol EQ5D) and radiographic parameters (e.g. radiolucencies, osteolysis, component migration) of study subjects who received the Sidus Stem-Free Shoulder. The Sidus Stem-Free Shoulder is not approved for use in the US.
The objectives of this study are to obtain survival and outcome data on the Trabecular Metal Reverse Shoulder System when used in primary or revision reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.
This is a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, non-controlled study designed to obtain survival and outcome data on the Continuum Metal on Polyethylene Acetabular System when used in primary total hip arthroplasty.
This is a multicentre post-marketing prospective study to evaluate performance and clinical outcomes of AMIIStem primary hip system.
This study evaluates femoral head resurfacing versus a large femoral head (Durom®) total hip system. This is a prospective randomized trial.
