About this study

Official title: Prospective, Multicentric Study to Assess Stability of a Tapered Porous Coated Stem and a Cementless Hemispherical Acetabular Component

This is a prospective, multicentric study that aim to assess stability of a tapered porous coated stem and a cementless hemispherical acetabular component.

Main Translation and rotation around the x., y-, and z-axis of the femoral and cup component by radiostereometric analysis (RSA) at immediate post op (within 5 days and before weight bearing), 6 months, 1year and 2 years

Read the detailed description

Aim of this study is to assess stem and cup migration over the time in patient subjected to a total hip arthroplasty. Medical Device Research Australia will perform image analysis services and reporting for model based radiostereometric analysis (RSA) of cementless fixation of the femoral and acetabular cup components. Migration of the components will be measured with model-based RSA (MBRSA) at immediate post op (within 5 days and before weight bearing), 6 months, 1year and 2 years A subgroup of 26 patients will be invited to be evaluated also by additional RSA analysis: the first 13 patients for each investigator who will accept.

The results of this work will establish the mechanical stability of Masterloc femoral component (Medacta International SA) and MPACT acetabular component (Medacta International SA), provide a general estimate of survivorship, and establish clinical safety and efficacy as measured by RSA and clinical outcomes.

What is being measured

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

  1. RSA imaging

    All RSA analysis will be performed Computer Aided Design (CAD) based Roentgen Stereophotogrammetry Analysis (RSA).

    The micro-motion results will be calculated and reported as translations and rotations along and about the three anatomic axes. The subsidence of the hip stem is included in the results. The motion of the femoral stem and acetabular cup will be described in relation to the marker beads placed in the proximal femur and acetabular bone during surgery respectively.

    The first CAD based RSA examination (within 5 days and prior to weight bearing) serves as the reference baseline. All subsequent evaluations of micromotion are related to the relative position of the implanted medical device with respect to the bone (bone markers) at the time of the evaluation

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Radiostereometric Analysis, run by Medacta International SA at 1 site in Australia.

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 9 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Sep 2025. 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 Australia. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

RSA imaging (time frame: 2 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 29 Sep 2025.
