Follow-Up of the Prevision® Hip Stem

Completed
Conditions
Aseptic Loosening of Prosthetic Joint
Periprosthetic Fracture Around Prosthetic Joint Implant
Registration Number
NCT04833634
Lead Sponsor
Aesculap AG
Brief Summary

The main objective of this study is to represent the treatment reality at the study site and to draw conclusions from cases of failure or suboptimal outcome. Potential risk factors for revision surgery, suboptimal outcome or radiologic sign of loosening, bone non-union or stem subsidence will be evaluated. Next to the functional outcome, stem subsidence will be used as an important indicator for a stable fixation of the revision stem.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Hip stem survival measured by Kaplan-MeierOne scheduled Follow-Up visit per patient, 2-7 years after initial implantation

The primary endpoint of the study is hip stem survival, which is a common indicator for implant performance, which can also be used for comparison with implant registry data.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Functional Outcome: Oxford Hip ScoreOne scheduled Follow-Up visit per patient, 2-7 years after initial implantation

The Oxford Hip Score is a 12-item questionnaire that assesses hip function and pain. The score ranges between 12 and 60, with a lower score indicating less disability

Patient satisfaction with their endoprosthetic revision treatmentOne scheduled Follow-Up visit per patient, 2-7 years after initial implantation

The Patients are asked to grade their level of satisfaction with the outcome of the surgery at time of follow-up, with the grades: "very dissatisfied", "dissatisfied", "satisfied", "very satisfied".

The grades may be summarized as "satisfied" vs. "dissatisfied".

Radiological evaluation (standard x-rays): radiographic looseningOne scheduled Follow-Up visit per patient, 2-7 years after initial implantation

Signs of radiographic loosening in the distal fixation zone

Leg length differenceOne scheduled Follow-Up visit per patient, 2-7 years after initial implantation

Discrepancy of leg length is often considered to be a problem after total hip replacement and can adversely affect an otherwise excellent outcome and may be associated with patient dissatisfaction.

Descriptive Analysis of (Serious) adverse eventsOne scheduled Follow-Up visit per patient, 2-7 years after initial implantation

(Serious) adverse events that are potentially related to the Total hip arthroplasty (THA) procedure or the THA implants will be recorded. These are events as reported by the patient, observed in the follow-up examinations or taken from the patient record

Radiological evaluation (standard x-rays): stem subsidenceOne scheduled Follow-Up visit per patient, 2-7 years after initial implantation

Stem subsidence from ap x-rays using landmarks of the femur (typically lesser trochanter) and of the prosthesis

Radiological evaluation (standard x-rays): Bone healingOne scheduled Follow-Up visit per patient, 2-7 years after initial implantation

Union of the osteotomy

o Healing of the fracture and of the greater trochanter, if applicable

Radiological evaluation (standard x-rays): osseointegrationOne scheduled Follow-Up visit per patient, 2-7 years after initial implantation

Distal and proximal radiographic bone ingrowth and Qualitative proximal remodeling
