Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 20 to 75 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Male or female
  • 20 to 75 years of age
  • Subjects requiring primary total hip replacement
  • Subjects with diagnosis of osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis, or traumatic arthritis
  • Subjects who demonstrate the ability to return to MGH for follow-up for the next five years.

Who cannot join

  • Subjects with limited life span
  • Subjects with difficulty in comprehending study protocol for any reason.
  • Subjects with inflammatory disease, previous infection or those requiring revision hip surgery.
  • Subjects whose bony structures are so small that a femoral head less than 32mm in diameter must be used.
  • Subjects whose bony structure deviates substantially from the general norm sufficiently to require non-standard techniques and non-standard implants. Specific examples of these are total dislocation of the hip, severe coxa vera deformity, severe forms of multiple epiphyseal dysplasia
  • Subjects with complex disease entities which significantly increase the risks of the surgery such as any major platelet abnormality, hematological disorder, positive for HIV or any other major medical complication which substantially reduces longevity.
  • Female subjects that are pregnant or who may suspect they are pregnant or who plan to become pregnant while participating in this study.

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Wear of Vitamin E Treated Polyethylene Components in Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty Using Radiostereometric Analysis (RSA)

The specific aim of this proposed study is to conduct a prospective RSA clinical study at Massachusetts General Hospital involving 50 patients receiving primary total hip replacements. All patients will receive the vitamin E treated polyethylene acetabular inserts. Short-term femoral head penetration and long-term steady state wear of the polyethylene will be measured using both RSA and Martell analysis techniques. Stability of the acetabular and femoral components will be measured in all patients using RSA analysis. The stability of the cemented femoral stems will be compared to the stability of the cementless femoral components as well as to historic data in the literature. In addition, all patients will complete a self-administered questionnaire to assess the clinical outcome of the surgery and patient satisfaction.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hip replacement in people with Osteoarthritis of Hip and Traumatic Arthritis of Hip, run by Massachusetts General Hospital at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Short-term femoral head penetration,long-term steady state wear of polyethylene. Stability of acetabular & femoral components. Clinical questionnaires to assess preop,clinical outcomes,& patient satisfaction. (time frame: 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 May 2017.
