3 year post-opASR-XL Metal-on-MetalPatients that underwent an ASR-XL Metal-on-Metal (MoM) total hip replacement (THR)and at the time of enrollment, based on their date of surgery, were 3 years post-operative. Alternatively, these are patients who have had their ASR-XL Metal-on-Metal hip revised but if they were not revised, would have fallen into this time point.
4 year post-opASR-XL Metal-on-MetalPatients that underwent an ASR-XL Metal-on-Metal (MoM) total hip replacement (THR)and at the time of enrollment, based on their date of surgery, were 4 years post-operative. Alternatively, these are patients who have had their ASR-XL Metal-on-Metal hip revised but if they were not revised, would have fallen into this time point.
2 year post-opASR-XL Metal-on-MetalPatients that underwent an ASR-XL Metal-on-Metal (MoM) total hip replacement (THR)and at the time of enrollment, based on their date of surgery, were 2 years post-operative. Alternatively, these are patients who have had their ASR-XL Metal-on-Metal hip revised but if they were not revised, would have fallen into this time point.
5 year post-opASR-XL Metal-on-MetalPatients that underwent an ASR-XL Metal-on-Metal (MoM) total hip replacement (THR)and at the time of enrollment, based on their date of surgery, were 5 years post-operative. Alternatively, these are patients who have had their ASR-XL Metal-on-Metal hip revised but if they were not revised, would have fallen into this time point.
6 year post-opASR-XL Metal-on-MetalPatients that underwent an ASR-XL Metal-on-Metal (MoM) total hip replacement (THR)and at the time of enrollment, based on their date of surgery, were 6 years post-operative. Alternatively, these are patients who have had their ASR-XL Metal-on-Metal hip revised but if they were not revised, would have fallen into this time point.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Chromium serum ion level across time intervalsPre-operatively through 6 years

To compare the chromium serum ion levels in the patient population from pre-operatively through 6 years post-operatively in a 1-way ANOVA. This is a cross-sectional study so each time interval (2 through 6 years) will be a different cohort of patients. Notes: Pre-operative values are being collected via a separate protocol. There is no 1 year data available for this product due its withdrawal from the market.

Change in Chromium whole blood ion level across time intervalsPre-operatively through 6 years

To compare the chromium whole blood ion levels in the patient population from pre-operatively through 6 years post-operatively in a 1-way ANOVA. This is a cross-sectional study so each time interval (2 through 6 years) will be a different cohort of patients. Notes: Pre-operative values are being collected via a separate protocol. There is no 1 year data available for this product due its withdrawal from the market.

Change in Cobalt whole blood ion level across time intervalsPre-operatively through 6 years

To compare the cobalt whole blood ion levels in the patient population from pre-operatively through 6 years post-operatively in a 1-way ANOVA. This is a cross-sectional study so each time interval (2 through 6 years) will be a different cohort of patients. Notes: Pre-operative values are being collected via a separate protocol. There is no 1 year data available for this product due its withdrawal from the market.

Change in Cobalt serum ion level across time intervalsPre-operatively through 6 years

To compare the cobalt serum ion levels in the patient population from pre-operatively through 6 years post-operatively in a 1-way ANOVA. This is a cross-sectional study so each time interval (2 through 6 years) will be a different cohort of patients. Notes: Pre-operative values are being collected via a separate protocol.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence of adverse local tissue reaction (ALTR)Pre-operatively through 6 years post-operatively

To determine trends in the incidence of ALTR over time.

To determine the association of adverse events with elevated ion levelsThrough 6 years post-operatively

To investigate the association of adverse events with elevated cobalt and chromium ion levels. For each respective adverse event, to compare cobalt and chromium ion levels for subjects who have vs. subjects who have not exhibited the adverse event. For each respective adverse event category, to present summary statistics of cobalt and chromium ion levels for subjects who have vs. subjects who have not exhibited the adverse event, stratified by post-op time cohort.

To identify the incidence of ALTR among unrevised subjectsThrough 6 years post-operatively

To identify the incidence of ALTR among unrevised subjects through physical examination and imaging.

Ion level change from first measurement for ALTR subjectsThrough 6 years post-operatively

Cobalt and chromium ion levels will be compared from first measurement to the time of revision (prior to revision) or the time of last follow-up visit in the study, whichever comes first, for subjects who are diagnosed with an ALTR.

Poolability of data across stem typesPre-operatively through 6 years post-operatively

Within each of the primary analyses, the poolability of the data across stem types will be confirmed with a 2-way ANOVA model in which both time interval and stem type are independent variables. Note: Pre-operative data is being collected via a separate protocol.

TrendingThrough 6 years post-operatively

Trends (over time since initial implant) will be evaluated for : 1) revisions (survivorship), 2) adverse events, 3) pain or functional symptoms (via Harris Hip and HOOS evaluations), 4) incidence of ALTR in unrevised subjects

Patient history and demographics and association with outcomesThroughout 6 years post-operatively

Patient demographic and subject history will be evaluated for association with: 1) higher metal ion levels and 2) risk of revision

Implant survivorshipThrough 6 years post-operatively

To determine implant survivorship, where an implant is considered to be surviving when none of the total hip replacement (THR)system components have been removed or replaced, so that the original system with metal-on-metal (MoM) articulating surfaces remains intact. Implant survivorship will be analyzed in two ways: 1) for all revisions (for any reason)and 2) for revisions due to ALTR.

Modes and causes of implant failureThrough 6 years post-operatively

To evaluate modes and causes of implant failure based on an analysis of reasonably available explanted retrieved devices.

Metal ion levels and association with reason for revisionThrough 6 years post-operatively

To compare cobalt and chromium levels across the different reasons for revision.

Ion level vs. baseline for ALTR subjectsThrough 6 years post-operatively

To compare cobalt and chromium ion level vs. baseline for subjects who are diagnosed with ALTR. Note: Baseline measurements are being captured via a separate protocol.

Ion levels among revised subjectsPre-operatively through 6 years post-operatively

To compare cobalt and chromium ion level (prior to revision) vs. baseline for subjects who are revised. Note: Pre-operative levels are being obtained via a separate protocol.

Harris Hip and HOOS analysis for pain, function and total scoreThrough 6 years post-operatively

To identify the incidence of pain or functional symptoms among unrevised subjects with a Harris Hip and HOOS evaluation. To compare cobalt and chromium ion levels for unrevised subject who are exhibiting pain or functional symptoms vs. unrevised subject who are not exhibiting pain or functional symptoms.

Comparison of metal ion levels across subjects with vs. without ALTRThrough 6 years post-operatively

Cobalt and chromium ion levels will be compared for unrevised subjects who were not diagnosed with an ALTR vs. unrevised subjects who were diagnosed with an ALTR.
