Compaction Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) Bilateral

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Coxarthrosis
Registration Number
NCT00317889
Lead Sponsor
Northern Orthopaedic Division, Denmark
Brief Summary

This is a prospective, randomized study comparing two different bone preparation techniques for insertion of a porous coated titanium cementless femoral stem. Patients receiving a bilateral total hip replacement are randomized to conventional broaching on one side and compaction on the other side.

Hypothesis: Compaction results in significantly less stem migration \[evaluated by radiostereometric analysis (RSA)\], less peri-prosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) loss \[evaluated by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)\], and a higher Harris hip score after two years.
