What is being measured

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

  1. Post-Operative 5-Year Device Survivorship

    Device survivorship at 5 years post-operatively was the primary endpoint in this study. A revision is defined as the removal of any Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) component(s), and device survival is defined as the lack of revision. A 5-year Kaplan-Meier survivorship estimate of COC 36 mm implanted hips is provided.

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (20)
  1. Kaplan Meier Device Survivorship at Years 1 Through 6

    Device survivorship at each year post-operative was a secondary endpoint in this study. A revision is defined as the removal of any Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) component(s), and device survival is defined as the lack of revision. A Kaplan-Meier survivorship estimate of COC 36 mm implanted hips is provided for each post-operative year.

    Measured: Years 1 through 6 post-operatively

  2. Annual Total Harris Hip Score

    The Harris Hip Score (HHS) is a standardized tool used to evaluate hip pain, function, and mobility. The HHS is score from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better outcomes. A score of less than 70 is considered poor, 70-80 is fair, 80-90 is good, 90-100 is excellent

    Measured: Annually through 5 years

  3. Annual Harris Hip Pain Sub Score

    The Harris Hip Score (HHS) is a standardized tool used to evaluate hip pain, function, and mobility. The HHS is score from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better outcomes. A score of less than 70 is considered poor, 70-80 is fair, 80-90 is good, 90-100 is excellent

    This Secondary Outcome reports on the Pain Sub Score which has categories of None (44 points), Slight (40), Mild (30), Moderate (20), Marked (10), and Totally Disabled (0)

    Measured: Annually through 5 years

  4. Annual Harris Hip Function and Activity Score

    The Harris Hip Score (HHS) is a standardized tool used to evaluate hip pain, function, and mobility. The HHS is score from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better outcomes. A score of less than 70 is considered poor, 70-80 is fair, 80-90 is good, 90-100 is excellent

    This Secondary Outcome reports on the Function and Activity Sub Score which has categories of Normal (40-47 points), Mild Dysfunction (30-39), Moderate Dysfunction (20-29), Severe Dysfunction (10-19), and Disabled (0 - 9)

    Measured: Annually through 5 years

  5. Acetabular Cup Version - Annual Measurements

    Acetabular cup version is the angle formed between the axis of the implant and the coronal plane of the body. Acetabular version typically ranges between 11.5 and 28.5 degrees.

    Measured: Measured from x-rays taken annually, years 1 through 5

  6. Acetabular Cup Inclination

    Acetabular cup inclination is the angle between the longitudinal axis of the patient and a perpendicular line to the major axis of the cup projection. The target acetabular cup inclination is between 30-50 degrees

    Measured: Measured from x-rays taken annually, years 1 through 5

  7. Acetabular Cup Migration

    Acetabular migration is the superior migration of the implant within the pelvic bone

    Measured: Measured from x-rays taken annually, years 1 through 5

  8. Heterotopic Ossification

    Heterotopic ossification is the abnormal formation of bone in soft tissues, such as muscles, tendons, or ligaments and can occur around the hip joint, leading to pain, stiffness, and restricted range of motion. It is graded as Class 0 through Class IV, with Class 0 being least impactful and Class IV being most impactful

    Measured: Measured from x-rays taken annually, years 1 through 5

  9. Acetabular Radiolucent Lines

    Radiolucent lines are seen on x-rays and represent an area that is absent of bone. Radiolucent lines seen adjacent to an implant may suggest a lack on bone ingrowth or possible loosening of the implant.

    Radiolucent lines greater than 1mm wide were considered reportable for this study.

    Measured: Measured from x-rays taken annually, years 1 through 5

  10. Acetabular Osteolysis

    Osteolysis is seen on x-rays and represent an area where bone has been resorbed by the body in response to small particles of debris that are created as an implant wears over time. Osteolysis greater than 5mm was considered to be reportable for this study.

    Measured: Measured from x-rays taken annually, years 1 through 5

  11. Acetabular Sclerotic Lines

    Acetabular sclerotic lines are seen on x-rays and are radio-dense areas of bone that have remodeled due to loads close to the implant.

    Measured: Measured from x-rays taken annually, years 1 though 5

  12. Femoral Stem Position

    Femoral stem position is categorized as neutral, valgus, or varus. A neutral stem is centered within the femoral canal that runs through the center of the femur's long axis. A valgus femoral stem is positioned slightly towards the medial side of the femoral canal, and a varus femoral stem is positioned slightly towards the lateral side of the femoral canal.

    Measured: Measured from x-rays taken annually, years 1 through 5

  13. Femoral Stem Tilt

    Femoral stem tilt is a measurement taken at each post-operative year and compared against baseline images collected at 6-weeks post-operative. The measurement captures changes in the position of the femoral stem over time. Tilt greater than 2 degrees was considered reportable for this study

    Measured: Measured from x-rays taken annually, years 1 through 5

  14. Femoral Stem Subsidence

    Femoral stem subsidence is the inferior movement of the stem within the femoral canal. Subsidence greater than 2 mm was considered reportable for this study.

    Measured: Measured from x-rays taken annually, years 1 through 5

  15. Femoral Stem Heterotopic Ossification

    Heterotopic ossification is the abnormal formation of bone in soft tissues such as muscles, tendons, or ligaments and can occur around the hip joint, leading to pain, stiffness, and restricted range of motion. It is graded as Class 0 through Class IV, with Class O having no bone growth in soft tissue, Class I being least impactful and Class IV being most impactful.

    Measured: Measured from x-rays taken annually, years 1 through 5

  16. Femoral Radiolucent Lines

    Radiolucencies are seen on x-rays and represent an area that is absent of bone. Radiolucent lines seen adjacent to an implant may suggest a lack of bone ingrowth into the implant or possible loosening of the implant

    Measured: Measured from x-rays taken annually, years 1 through 5

  17. Femoral Osteolysis

    Osteolysis is seen on x-rays and represent an area where bone has been resorbed by the body in response to small particles of debris that are created as an implant wears over time. Osteolysis greater than 5mm was considered to be reportable for this study.

    Measured: Measured from x-rays taken annually, years 1 through 5

  18. Femoral Stem Sclerotic Lines

    Acetabular sclerotic lines are seen on x-rays and are radio-dense areas of bone that have remodeled due to loads close to the implant.

    Measured: Measured from x-rays taken annually, years 1 through 5

  19. Femoral Stem Calcar Resorption

    Femoral calcar resorption occurs when the bone around the prosthesis is partially shielded from bearing loads and begins to resorb

    Measured: Measure from x-rays taken annually, years 1 through 5

  20. Femoral Stem Calcar Fracture

    Near the top of the femur is a region of bone called the calcar femorale that provides strength to the femur when compressive forces are applied. During preparation of the femur to receive the femoral implant there is the possibility of fractures occurring in this region

    Measured: Measured from x-rays taken annually, years 1 through 5
