|
N/A |
Detailed Description
Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a bioactive ceramic that resembles the natural inorganic mineral content of bone, and as such is a highly osteoconductive material. The purpose of this study is to compare an HA coated and uncoated prosthesis.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Harris Hip Score (HHS) [Preoperative, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months]
The Harris Hip scoring system assigns a numeric value to responses from patients and assessments made by a surgeon. A score of 90-100 is excellent, 80-90 is good, 70-80 is fair, 60-69 is poor, and 60 or below is failed. The patient records the following: pain level, need for assistance when walking, presence of a limp, distance able to walk, ability to put on shoes and socks, climb stairs, use public transportation and the length of time one is able to comforatably sit in a chair are all scored. The doctor assesses patient hip function by testing flexion, extension, adduction and abduction.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Medical Imaging as a Secondary Outcome Inclusive of All Post-operative Intervals for All Participants at Study Closure. [Postoperative, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months]
Medical imaging as a secondary outcome inclusive of all post-operative intervals for all participants at study closure. This measure is a percentage of the overall Participants with a specific radiographic outcome. Measurements were made by an Independent Radiographic Reviewer (IRR) and include assessments made based on protocol defined radiographic success criteria that includes Subsidence (10 mm), Osseointegration, Radiolucency > 2 mm in any zone, Complete Circumferential Radiolucencies, Spot-Welds (AP View) p < .10, Spot-Welds (Lateral View) p < .10, Cortical Hypertrophy (AP View), Cortical Hypertrophy (Lateral View)

Study Results
Participant Flow
Recruitment Details | Recruitment began in September 2002 and ended June 2006. Study subjects were recruited and enrolled in medical clinics by orthopaedic surgeons at eight investigational sites. Each site could enroll a maximum of 50 subjects. Recruitment was based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria as indicated in the study protocol. |
---|---|
Pre-assignment Detail | Immediately before surgery, the implant type was determined according to the randomization schedule. Enrolled subjects may have been excluded from the trial before assignment to the study arm based upon results of pre-operative clinical evaluations and radiographs that would exclude a subject based on exclusion criteria in the study protocol. |
Arm/Group Title | DuoFix HA | Porocoat Porous Coated |
---|---|---|
Arm/Group Description | The Summit™ DuoFix™ HA stems are primary, cementless hip implants. Summit™ cementless stems feature 3°-tapered body geometry to enhance fit, and are manufactured from forged titanium alloy. The Summit™ cementless stems are designed to load the femur toward the upper part of the stem, and therefore the Porocoat® porous coating is applied only to the upper body of the stem. The DuoFix™ HA stem also has a thin coating of hydroxyapatite on this porous-coated surface. This HA coating is only 35 microns thick, so the optimum pore size is maintained. The lower portion of the stem has a grit-blasted surface, which promotes bone on-growth and the polished bullet-tip prevents end-stem loading. | The Summit™ Porocoat® stems are primary, cementless hip implants that a feature 3°-tapered body geometry to enhance fit, and are manufactured from forged titanium alloy.
