- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To investigate the acetabular bone stock when using a RM Pressfit Cup compared with a conventional rigid uncemented acetabular cup as assessed by DEXA analysis.[5 years];To examine whether the RM Pressfit Vitamys Cup performs as well as conventional acetabular cups with regards to function using the Oxford Hip Score. Average scores will be compared between the RM Pressfit Cup group and the comparison group.[5 years];To examine whether the RM Pressfit Vitamys Cup performs as well as conventional acetabular cups with regards to quality-of-life using the Short Form 36 (SF-36) and the Assessment of Quality of Life (AQoL-6D). Average scores for each assessment will be compared between the RM Pressfit Cup group and the comparison group.[5 years]
