About this study

Official title: Comparing Hollow and Solid Centralizer Designs When Using a Polished, Collarless, Tapered Hip Prosthesis Stem (MS30). A Prospective, Randomized, Multicenter Study Evaluated by RadioStereometric Analysis (RSA).

The study aims at comparing the effect of hollow or solid centralizer designs on the long time fixation behaviour of hip prosthesis stems that are polished, tapered and collarless. In a prospective, controlled and randomized study comprising two groups of 30 patients/hips each, the patients will be followed up by RadioStereometric Analysis (RSA) for ten years. In completion general health questionnaires as well as hip specific scoring instruments will be used to evaluate patient satisfaction and outcome.The hypothesis of the study is that the different centralizers will result in different migration patterns of the stems, which might affect the risk for late aseptic loosening.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Hollow CentralizerProcedure or surgery

    The stem used (MS30)was originally designed with a solid centralizer but has been redesigned to be used with a hollow centralizer. The patients are randomized to either solid or hollow centralizer

  • Solid CentralizerProcedure or surgery

    The stem used (MS30)was originally designed with a solid centralizer but has been redesigned to be used with a hollow centralizer. The patients are randomized to either solid or hollow centralizer

  • MS-30 femoral stemDevice

    This is the stem used in the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Radiostereometric Analysis (RSA)

    This will measure the change in stem migration over time and be indicative of long term result.

    Measured: The first postoperative day, 6 months, 1, 2, 5 and 10 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. x-ray

    On standard x-rays the progress of radiolucent lines or other signs of loosening will be measured

    Measured: The first postoperative day, 6 months, 1, 2, 5 and 10 years

  2. Hip specific questionnaire

    Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Score (HOOS) - this is a hip specific questionnaire that will measure how the operation has affected the patients hip function and pain situation

    Measured: Preoperatively, 1, 2, 5 and 10 years

  3. General health questionnaire

    EuroQol (EQ-5D) - a standardized instrument for use as measure of general health outcome

    Measured: Preoperatively, 1, 2, 5 and 10 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hollow Centralizer, Solid Centralizer and MS-30 femoral stem in people with Total Hip Arthroplasty, run by Region Skane at 1 site in Sweden.

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 3 inclusion and 8 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Nov 2014. 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 Sweden. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Radiostereometric Analysis (RSA) (time frame: The first postoperative day, 6 months, 1, 2, 5 and 10 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 26 Nov 2014.
