Registration Number
NCT04688593
Lead Sponsor
Waldemar Link GmbH & Co. KG
Brief Summary

The implantation of artificial hip joints is one of the most frequently performed surgeries. Normally, patients are very satisfied with the results.

The MobileLink hip prosthesis system is a CE marked medical device. This means the the safety and performance of the prosthesis ist approved. Aim of the study is to collect clinical data about the outcome of the MobileLink hip prosthesis system under routine condition and to determine the satisfaction of the patients.
