Not Applicable
Terminated
Conditions
Osteoarthritis
Rheumatoid Arthritis

Acute Fracture
Post-traumatic Arthritis
Registration Number
NCT00306917
Lead Sponsor
DePuy Orthopaedics
Brief Summary

Prospective, randomized study of Summit Porocoat versus Summit DuoFix HA in total hip arthroplasty

Detailed Description

Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a bioactive ceramic that resembles the natural inorganic mineral content of bone, and as such is a highly osteoconductive material. The purpose of this study is to compare an HA coated and uncoated prosthesis.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Harris Hip Score (HHS)Preoperative, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months

The Harris Hip scoring system assigns a numeric value to responses from patients and assessments made by a surgeon. A score of 90-100 is excellent, 80-90 is good, 70-80 is fair, 60-69 is poor, and 60 or below is failed. The patient records the following: pain level, need for assistance when walking, presence of a limp, distance able to walk, ability to put on shoes and socks, climb stairs, use public transportation and the length of time one is able to comforatably sit in a chair are all scored. The doctor assesses patient hip function by testing flexion, extension, adduction and abduction.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Medical Imaging as a Secondary Outcome Inclusive of All Post-operative Intervals for All Participants at Study Closure.Postoperative, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months

Medical imaging as a secondary outcome inclusive of all post-operative intervals for all participants at study closure. This measure is a percentage of the overall Participants with a specific radiographic outcome. Measurements were made by an Independent Radiographic Reviewer (IRR) and include assessments made based on protocol defined radiographic success criteria that includes Subsidence (10 mm), Osseointegration, Radiolucency \> 2 mm in any zone, Complete Circumferential Radiolucencies, Spot-Welds (AP View) p \< .10, Spot-Welds (Lateral View) p \< .10, Cortical Hypertrophy (AP View), Cortical Hypertrophy (Lateral View)
