Avenir Müller Hip Stem Post Market Surveillance Study

Completed

Conditions: Subluxation Hip
Osteoarthritis, Hip
Dislocated Hip
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Fracture of Hip
Osteonecrosis
Post-traumatic; Arthrosis

Interventions: Device: Patients who met the inclusion/exclusion criteria to receive the Avenir Müller stem.

Brief Summary: This study is a Post Market Clinical Follow up study to fulfil the post market surveillance obligations according to Medical Device Directive and European Medical Device Vigilance System (MEDDEV) 2.12-2. The data collected from this study will serve the purpose of confirming safety and performance of the Avenir Müller Hip Stem.

Detailed Description: The objective of this post market surveillance study is to obtain outcome data on the Avenir Müller Hip Stem by analysis of standard scoring systems, radiographs and adverse event records, and thus to assess the long-term performance and safety of this implant.

This is a multi-centre, retrospective post-market surveillance study involving orthopaedic surgeons skilled in hip surgery. Each case enrolled has received the Avenir Müller Hip Stem for a primary hip arthroplasty. The Avenir Müller Hip Stem is CE marked (European Conformity) and commercially available.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Evaluation of Pain and Functional Performance Determined by the Harris Hip Score	10 years	The Harris Hip Score is a questionnaire filled by the surgeon with the patient who received a hip implant. The domains covered are pain, function, absence of deformity, and range of motion. The pain domain measures pain severity and its effect on activities and need for pain medication. The function domain consists of daily activities (stair use, using public transportation, sitting, and managing shoes and socks) and gait (limp, support needed, and walking distance). Deformity takes into account hip flexion, adduction, internal rotation, and extremity length discrepancy. Range of motion measures hip flexion, abduction, external and internal rotation, and adduction. There are 10 items. The score has a maximum of 100 points (best possible outcome) covering pain (1 item, 0-44 points), function (7 items, 0-47 points), absence of deformity (1 item, 4 points), and range of motion (2 items, 5 points).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Survivorship of the Implant	10 years	Implant survival based on removal or intended removal of the device and determined using the Kaplan-Meier method. Here, the entire cohort of patients (and hips) enrolled in the study were considered and are reported as the revisions could happen from the early stages of the study, and up to 10 year post surgery, and could occur to any patients. Even if a patient did not come back for a visit, the information if the implant was still in place was provided and taken into account for the survival analysis (gives higher numbers than for the clinical evaluation).
Confirmation of Safety Based on Complications	up to 10 years	Number of patients with adverse events related to the implant will be reported. Adverse events include: dislocations of the hip, revisions and removals of the implant components. Here, the entire cohort of patients (and hips) enrolled in the study were considered and are reported as the complications occured from the early stages of the study, and up to 10 year post surgery, and could occur to any patients.
