PMCF 8 Year Results TRJ®

Completed
Conditions
Arthroplasty, Replacement, Hip
Follow-Up Study
Registration Number
NCT04542174
Lead Sponsor
Aesculap AG
Brief Summary

The intention of this Post Market Clinical Follow-Up study is to obtain mid-term results of the TRJ® endoprosthesis. Aim is to include those patients that have received a TRJ® Total Hip Arthroplasty in 2012 and already did participated in a clinical study taking place in 2014 to obtain 2 years results

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Survival rate of the stemat follow-up examination approximately 8 years after primary intervention

The survival of the TRJ® stem prosthesis will be analyzed using the "Kaplan-Meier". Isolated revisions of the inlay and / or of the acetabular components (with the stem being kept in place) are documented, but assessed separately.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Harris Hip Score (HHS)at follow-up examination approximately 8 years after primary intervention

The Harris Hip Score (HHS) is one of the most used scores in total hip arthroplasty, mainly combining range of motion questions with questions regarding daily life activities.

Rate of Adverse and Serious Adverse Eventsat follow-up examination approximately 8 years after primary intervention

All Adverse Events (AE) / Serious Adverse Events (SAE) either observed during the follow-up examination, found in the patient file of the hospital or reported by the patient will be documented. Only those AE and SAE that could be related to the investigational product or the TRJ® Total Hip Arthroplasty procedure in 2012 are of interest.

Hip Dysfunction and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS)at follow-up examination approximately 8 years after primary intervention

The Hip Dysfunction and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) is a 40 items patient reported outcome score (PROM) designed specifically to evaluate the physical functionality of hip osteoarthritis patients. The HOOS offers 5 subgroups, each with 100 points as best result.

Radiological Outcome: Bone resorption at the medial stem neckat follow-up examination approximately 8 years after primary intervention

Bone Resorption is assessed on anterior-posterior and lateral x-rays of the stem

Radiological Outcome: Bone resorption at the Trochanter Majorat follow-up examination approximately 8 years after primary intervention

Bone Resorption is assessed on anterior-posterior and lateral x-rays of the stem

Radiological Outcome: Bony Osseointegration or conspicuous features of the cupat follow-up examination approximately 8 years after primary intervention

Bony Osseointegration or conspicuous features of the Cup are assessed on anterior-posterior x-rays of the cup and will be analysed according to the zones defined by DeLee and Charnley. "Charnley" and "Gruen" zones of the hip are distinct zones used in assessment of aseptic loosening in total hip joint replacements.

Radiological Outcome: Inlay wearat follow-up examination approximately 8 years after primary intervention

Inlay wear is assessed on AP x-rays of the cup and will be analysed according to the zones defined by DeLee and Charnley. "Charnley" and "Gruen" zones of the hip are distinct zones used in assessment of aseptic loosening in total hip joint replacements.

Radiological Outcome: Heterotopic Ossificationat follow-up examination approximately 8 years after primary intervention

Brooker classification divides heterotopic ossifications that form following total hip replacement to four classes. Class I: islands of bone within soft tissues around hip; Class II: bone spurs in pelvis or proximal end of femur leaving ≥1 cm between the opposing bone surfaces; Class III: bone spurs that extend from pelvis or the proximal end of femur, which reduce the space between the opposing bone surfaces to \<1cm; Class IV: ankylosis of the hip on x-ray

Radiological Outcome: Migration of the stem in mmat follow-up examination approximately 8 years after primary intervention

Migration of the stem is assessed in \[mm\] relative to discharge x-rays

Pain Assessmentat follow-up examination approximately 8 years after primary intervention

Pain will be measured with a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), at rest and when walking on flat ground. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is a 10 cm line with anchor statements on the left (no pain) and on the right (extreme pain). The patient is asked to mark their current pain level on the line.

Radiological Outcome: Evaluation of bony osseointegration or conspicuous features of the stemat follow-up examination approximately 8 years after primary intervention

Bony Osseointegration or conspicuous features of the stem are assessed on anterior-posterior and lateral x-rays of the stem and will be analysed according to the zones defined by Gruen. "Charnley" and "Gruen" zones of the hip are distinct zones used in assessment of aseptic loosening in total hip joint replacements
