Clinical Trial Summary

This is a prospective cohort study assessing the survival of a new acetabula component which is based on the original Trident acetabular system (cementless shell) which is used for Total Hip Arthroplasty. The manufacturer recently introduced the evolution of this product, the Trident® II acetabular shell which was launched in 2017. This implant is CE marked and is now widely available for the UK market, however has minimal clinical outcomes data to support its use. As part of a stepwise introduction of devices to orthopaedic practice. This study will report the 10 year implant survival and patient functional outcomes of this new implant.

Description:

125 patients will be recruited at a single-centre as part of a, phase-4 post-market surveillance, prospective cohort study

This is a 10-year study of the Trident II acetabular component as part of total hip replacement at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, NHS Lothian.

Patients will receive a Trident® II acetabular component as part of primary total hip arthroplasty at the study centre. This component is CE marked and widely available for use by UK surgeons. The Trident® II shells are HA coated, cementless, press-fit acetabular shells composed of a Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V) substrate featuring a CpTi roughened surface with PureFix™ HA. The cup is available in a range of sizes and is indicated for primary and revision procedures.

A standard operative technique will be employed by all study surgeons, using the posterior approach. The routine post-operative patient care protocol of the study centre will be employed.

10 year implant survival is the primary aim, but in addition functional and radiographical outcome will be assessed a 1, 2, 5, 7 and 10 years.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Implant survival	All failures or revision of the Trident® II components as well as liner revisions will be documented.	10 years
Secondary	Oxford hip score	The Oxford Hip Score is a patient reported outcome measure that was developed specifically to measure the impact of pain and functional disability in patients undergoing hip replacement. It consists of 12-questions and is scored using a 5-item Likert response format, reported on a 0 (worst) to 48 (best) scale with higher scores representing better outcomes. It is an extensively validated and widely adopted outcome measure in patients undergoing hip replacement surgery.	Preoperative, 1, 2, 5, 7 and 10 years
Secondary	Forgotten Joint Score	The Forgotten Joint Score-12 is a patient-reported outcome scale to assess joint awareness in hips during various activities of daily living. It uses a 5-point Likert response format, consists of 12-questions and the raw score is transformed to range from 0 (worst) to 100 (best) points. High scores indicate good outcome, i.e. a high degree of being able to forget about the affected joint in daily life. The FJS has a low ceiling effect and especially discriminates between good, very good and excellent outcome after THA and TKA. In its validation study it showed high internal consistency and discriminated well between patient groups known to show different outcome.	Preoperative, 1, 2, 5, 7 and 10 years
Secondary	Short Form 12	The Short Form 12 is a 12-item questionnaire used to assess generic health outcomes from the patient's perspective. The SF-12 results in two summary scores: the physical and mental components summary (PCS and MCS) scores. This score is calculated using norm-based methodology and population mean scores. Both PCS and MCS have a population mean score of 50 with an standard deviation of 10.	Preoperative, 1, 2, 5, 7 and 10 years
Secondary	EuroQol 5-dimension	The EuroQol 5-dimension is a standardised instrument with five items for use as a measure of self-reported general health. Applicable to a wide range of health conditions and treatments, it provides a simple descriptive profile and a single index value for health status. This index for the UK population is on a scale of -0.594 to 1, where 1 represents perfect health and 0 represents death, with a utility of less than 0 being worse than death. It is one of the most frequently used measures to gain quality of life scores for analysis in health economy as utility weights for calculating quality of life adjusted life years (QALYs) can be obtained	Preoperative, 1, 2, 5, 7 and 10 years
Secondary	Hip pain	Global hip pain severity will be assessed using an 11 point (0-10) numerical rating scale (NRS), where 0 represents no pain and 10 the worst possible pain. The validity and sensitivity of the NRS has been well documented. As it has been suggested that using multiple measurements of pain status as opposed to a single value of 'current pain' may provide more realistic and meaningful measurements of pain intensity, separate assessments will be made of 'worst pain' and 'perceived mean daily pain' as has been specifically recommended for use in OA clinical trials.	Preoperative, 1, 2, 5, 7 and 10 years
Secondary	Patient satisfaction	Satisfaction questions are reported using a 5-point Likert response format hip (very satisfied, satisfied, unsure, dissatisfied or very dissatisfied). Specifically, questions will ask patients as to their; overall satisfaction with their operated hip; how well the surgery relieves pain in the operated joint; how well surgery increases the ability to perform regular activities of daily living and to perform heavy work or sport activities	Preoperative, 1, 2, 5, 7 and 10 years
Secondary	Radiographic (x-ray) assessment	Plain radiographs will be obtained for assessment of fixation of the device evaluating radiolucent lines (mm), cup abduction angle (degrees), anteversion (degrees) and cup-centre-edge angle (degrees). Plain radiographs will be divided into the three acetabular zones according to those defined by DeLee and Charnley. Radiolucent lines will be defined as less then 2mm, more than this will be defined a lysis. Lysis in all three acetabular zone will define a loose cup. Acetabular component inclination and version will be calculated from anteroposterior radiographs of the hip and/or hip and pelvis using established and validated techniques. The safe zones for acetabular component positioning were assessed using the commonly adopted parameters defined by Lewinnek et al. (inclination of 30° to 50° and anteversion of 5° to 25°) and Callanan et al. (inclination of 30° to 45° and anteversion of 5° to 25°).	Preoperatively, 1, 5 and 10 years
