Clinical Trial Summary

A randomised controlled study comparing two types of ultra-porous coated uncemented cups in total hip arthroplasty. Primary objective is to investigate if the clinical, radiological and patient-reported outcome of the new MobileLINK TabecuLINK cup combined with an X-LINKed insert is non-inferior to the clinical and radiological outcome of the Pinnacle Gription series 100 cup combined with the Marathon liner. Patients are evaluated up to 15 years postoperatively.

Description:

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcome and long-term risk of development of osteolysis of a newly introduced cementless press-fit acetabular cup, consisting of a shell with a 3D surface structure and a highly cross-linked liner by precise measurement of early migration and wear. Migration describes the movement between the implant and the surrounding bone over time. Early migration of the implant, within 2 years after operation, has shown to be a strong predictor for increased risk for late failure. Thus, high precision migration studies can be used to evaluate the performance of new implants in small groups of patients with a relatively short observation time. Wear particles are one of the main causes of periprosthetic osteolysis. Although modern, more wear resistant materials, appears to have a greatly reduced risk of osteolysis, the desired complete elimination of osteolysis appears to be yet unachieved. It is most likely that the mechanism of periprosthetic osteolysis is multifactorial. In this study the investigators plan to include 70 patients that are planned for operation with an uncemented total hip arthroplasty. 35 patients will be randomized to receive the new implant and 35 patients will be included in the control group and receive a standard uncemented prosthesis. All patients will then be followed with CT scans and patient reported outcome measures 3-month, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years and 15 years after the operations. The CT scans will be used both for measurement of migration and wear and development of osteolysis around the implant.

Secondary	Patient reported outcome with Forgotten Joint Score	Patient-reported outcome measured by Forgotten Joint Score (FSJ). The scores will be summarized and transformed to a scale ranging from 0 to 100, where a high value indicate that the patient tends to be less aware of the affected joint when performing daily activities.	15 years after operation
Secondary	Patient reported outcome with Hip dysfunction and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score	Patient-reported outcome measured by Hip dysfunction and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS). Each of the 5 subscales will get a score of 0 to 100, with 0 indicating extreme symptoms and 100 indicating no symptoms. The subscales will be plotted as a HOOS profile, by connecting the mean scores for all 5 dimensions with a line.	15 years after operation
