About this study
Official title: Multi-Center, Non-Controlled, Prospective Radiostereometric Analysis of Emphasys Hip Solutions
This study is designed as a prospective, multi-centre, non-randomized, non-controlled study. This study does not limit the procedures involved in the treatment of the subject as long as the protocol specified products are utilized.
The primary objective is to establish the mean superior cup migration of the Emphasys Shell and the mean inferior stem migration of the Emphasys Stem using model-based RSA over the first two years post-implantation. Additionally, the data from this study will be compared to historical Pinnacle Acetabular Shell data obtained in study DSJ_2018_02.
- Conditions

| Emphasys Hip Solutions | Other | Emphasys Acetabular Shell, Emphasys AOX Polyethylene Liner, Articul/eze 12/14 metal head and Emphasys fem. stem Receives: Device: Emphasys Hip Solutions |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Migration - Shell
The mean vertical subsidence (Y translation, also known as superior shell migration) at 2 years as measured with RSA.
Measured: 2 Years
Migration - Stem
The mean vertical subsidence (Y translation, also known as inferior stem migration) at 2 years as measured with RSA.
Measured: 2 Years
Secondary outcomes (8)
Subsidence - Emphasys Shell
RSA measured subsidence of the Emphasys Shell at 6 months and 1 year and to compare it to historical Pinnacle Shell data
Measured: 6 months, 1 Year
Subsidence - Emphasys Stem
RSA measured subsidence of the Emphasys Stemat 6 months and 1 year
Measured: 6 months, 1 Year
Other RSA measurements - Emphasys Shell
Other RSA measurements of the Emphasys Shell (X and Z translations in mm, X, Y, and Z rotations in degrees, and maximal total point motion in mm) at all time points. These endpoints will be compared to historical Pinnacle Shell data.
Measured: 6 Weeks, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years
Other RSA measurements - Emphasys Stem
Other RSA measurements of the Emphasys Stem (X and Z translations in mm, X, Y, and Z rotations in degrees, and maximal total point motion in mm) at all time points. These endpoints will be compared to historical Pinnacle Shell data.
Measured: 6 Weeks, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years
Head Penetration (in mm)
Linear head penetration (in mm) at 1 year and 2 years. This endpoint will be compared to historical Pinnacle data.
Measured: 1 year and 2 years
HOOS Jr.
Functional and health status will be measured with HOOS Jr. This is a patient-reported outcome measure for which scores range from 0 to 100; a score of 0 indicating total hip disability and 100 indicating optimal hip health.These endpoints will be compared to historical Pinnacle data.
Measured: Pre-op, 6 weeks, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years
Harris Hip Score
Functional score will be measured with Harris Hip Score. The score has a maximum of 100 points (best possible outcome) covering pain (1 item, 0-44 points), function (7 items, 0-47 points), absence of deformity (1 item, 4 points), and range of motion (2 items, 5 points). These endpoints will be compared to historical Pinnacle data.
Measured: Pre-op, 6 weeks, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years
Forgotten Joint Score (FJS-12)
Functional and health status will be measured with the Forgotten Joint Score (FJS-12). The FJS total score range is 0-100, higher scores indicating the patient is able to forget the joint daily lower degree of joint awareness. These endpoints will be compared to historical Pinnacle data.
Measured: Pre-op, 6 weeks, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years

Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 15 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Dec 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 Canada. 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.

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?
Contact Sarah Tran (204-926-1231, stran@orthoinno.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Migration - Shell (time frame: 2 Years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 10 Dec 2025.
