About this study

Official title: A Randomized Clinical Trial of a Modular Cementless Acetabular Metal on Poly Component Versus a Monoblock Cementless Titanium Shell With Ceramic on Ceramic Bearing and CORAIL Stem: A Bone Mineral Density Study

The main goal is to prospectively evaluate bone mineral density adjacent to the femoral component and femoral bone remodeling of two different designs: CORAIL impaction broach titanium stem compared to a modular titanium femoral stem (Tri-lock). Patients will be randomized to one of the two treatment groups prior to surgery. Each patient will be evaluated at their regularly scheduled 10-14 days, 3, 6, 12 and 24 month visits following surgery. Patients will be asked to have bilateral DEXA bone mineral density tests (10-14 days post-surgery, and 6, 12 and 24 months post-operatively). Urine and serum samples (measures of bone turnover) will be collected at 3, 6 and 12 months post-operatively after an overnight fast. Patient reported questionnaires will be completed preoperatively and at the 3, 6, 12, and 24 month visits.

Read the detailed description

The main goal is to prospectively evaluate bone mineral density adjacent to the femoral component and femoral bone remodeling of two different designs: CORAIL impaction broach titanium stem compared to a modular titanium femoral stem (Tri-lock). The investigators expect the CORAIL femoral stem group to show significantly less bone loss on the femoral side as compared to the Tri-lock group. The primary outcome is percent change in bone mineral density (BMD) (g/cm2) from baseline (10-14 days post-op) to the two year post-operative interval, as measured radiographically in zones 1 and 7.

Patients will be randomized to one of the two treatment groups prior to surgery. Each patient will be evaluated at their regularly scheduled 10-14 days, 3, 6, 12 and 24 month visits following surgery.

Bilateral DXA bone mineral density tests will be performed at 10-14 days following surgery (baseline assessment) and at 6, 12, and 24 months post-operatively.

Urine and serum samples (measures of bone turnover) will be collected at 3, 6 and 12 months post-operatively after an overnight fast.

The Harris Hip Score will be completed at each post-operative visit except the immediate (10-14 days), when risk of dislocation precludes a determination of range of motion. At the 3, 6, 12 and 24 month post-operative visits, the patient will complete the SF-36 Item Health Survey, WOMAC and UCLA activity scale.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in Bone Mineral Density

    To prospectively evaluate bone mineral density adjacent to the femoral component and femoral bone remodeling for the 2 groups. Bone mineral density was assessed using high-sensitivity dual x-ray absorptiometry region-free analysis (DXA-RFA). Mean number of pixels with change with significant BMD decrease.

    Measured: 2 Years Post-operative

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Comparison of Bone Turnover Markers Between Groups

    Biochemical markers of bone turnover will be assessed from morning-fasting serum samples and compared from baseline to 2-years post-operative.

    Measured: 2 Years post-operative

  2. Implant Migration

    Stem and cup migration will be assessed using radiographic images at baseline and 2-years post-operative.

    Measured: 2 years post-operative

  3. Change in Modified Harris Hip Score

    The change from baseline to 2-years post-operative on the Modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS). The mHHS assesses a patient's functional outcome and pain. The maximum score is 100 and the lowest is 0. A higher score is indicative of better outcomes and lower pain levels.

    Measured: 2 Years post-operative

  4. Change in SF-36 Score

    The change from baseline to 2-years post-operative on the SF-36 score: a quality of-life measure. The score consists of 36 questions separated into 8 concepts. These outcomes will be grouped as physical component summary and mental component summary. The norm data is 0-100. The health related quality of life is increases as the scores are increased. The average score is 50.

    Measured: 2 Years post-operative

  5. Change in WOMAC Questionnaire

    The change from baseline to 2-years post-operative on the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC). The WOMAC score consists of 24 items, separated into 3 subscales. Each question is scored on a scale of 0 to 4, with a possible score range of 0-20 for pain, 0-8 for stiffness, and 0-68 for physical function. The scores of each subscale are summed to give a total score. Higher scores are indicative of worse pain, stiffness and functional limitations.

    Measured: 2 Years post-operative

  6. Change in UCLA Activity Scale

    The change from baseline to 2-years post-operative on the UCLA Activity score. The UCLA activity scale is a 10 point scale evaluating a patients activity level. The possible score range is from 0-10. A low value is indicative of sedentary or inactivity, whereas a high score is indicative of high levels of activity.

    Measured: 2 Years post-operatively

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?

Change in Bone Mineral Density (time frame: 2 Years Post-operative). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
