Prospective Follow-up of the Prevision Hip Stem With Comparison of Different Implant Variants

This study is checking how safe and effective a new type of hip replacement, called the Prevision hip stem, is for people who need a second hip replacement operation. Doctors are comparing different versions of this hip stem to see how well they work and how good they are at improving movement. The main goal is to make sure this new hip stem is at least as good as the older versions and other similar hip stems already available. Patients will be followed over time to see their recovery and how well their new hip is functioning. This will help doctors understand the best way to use these new implants.

What is this study about?

Imagine you need a new hip replacement, or perhaps your first hip replacement needs to be replaced. This study is all about a relatively new hip implant system called the Prevision hip stem. Doctors want to understand how safe and effective this new system is, especially when compared to older versions or other similar hip replacements already in use. They are particularly interested in seeing how well patients can move and use their hip two years after surgery.

What's special about the Prevision system is that there are different versions of the hip stem, but they can all be put in using similar tools. This makes it easier for surgeons to choose the best version for each patient during the operation. The study will look at how people recover and what their hip movement is like, depending on which version of the Prevision hip stem they receive.

This research is important because it helps doctors learn more about the best ways to help people who need hip replacement surgery. By carefully watching how people get on with these new implants, they can make sure that patients are receiving treatments that are safe, effective, and help them get back to their daily activities as comfortably as possible.

Key takeaways

  • Checks how a new hip stem (Prevision) works after surgery.
  • Compares different versions of the Prevision hip stem.
  • Aims for results at least as good as older implants.
  • Involves follow-up appointments to track recovery.
  • Participation lasts for at least two years.

Who may be eligible?

To be part of this study, you would need to be an adult (18 years or older) who is having a hip replacement operation where a Prevision hip stem is used. You also need to be able to attend follow-up appointments after your surgery.

There are some reasons why you wouldn't be able to join. For example, if you are under 18 or are pregnant at the time of your surgery. Also, if you are in prison or if there's a close relationship between you and the study doctors or the company making the implant, you wouldn't be able to take part.

Could this study suit you?

Answer these quick questions to see if you may be eligible. This is a guide only — the research team makes the final call.

  1. Are you 18 years old or older?
  2. Are you having a hip replacement using a Prevision hip stem?
  3. Are you able to attend follow-up appointments after your surgery?
  4. Are you not pregnant at the time of your surgery?
  5. Are you not in a prison, or closely related to the study team or company?
Answer every question to see your result.

What does participation involve?

If you join this study, your involvement would primarily revolve around your hip replacement surgery where a Prevision hip stem is used. You wouldn't be given any new or experimental medications; instead, the study uses an existing implant system. The main part of your participation would be attending follow-up appointments after your surgery. These appointments are important for the doctors to check on your recovery and how well your new hip is working, especially focusing on your movement and ability to carry out daily tasks two years after the operation. The total duration of your participation would be at least two years to track your progress.

Potential risks and benefits

Taking part in this study means doctors will closely monitor your recovery after your hip replacement surgery, which could be reassuring. However, like any surgery, there are always potential risks involved with the hip replacement itself, which your surgeon will explain. There are no additional direct risks from simply being observed for this study. You are free to withdraw from the study at any time without it affecting your medical care.

Common questions

What is a 'revision hip replacement'?

This is when a previous hip replacement needs to be replaced with a new one, often because the old one has worn out or has a problem.

Is the Prevision hip stem a new type of hip replacement?

Yes, it's a relatively new system, and this study is helping doctors understand how well it performs in real-world use.

Will I get special treatment if I'm in the study?

You will receive excellent care as usual, but the study primarily involves doctors carefully watching your recovery and hip function after surgery.

How long will I be involved in the study?

You will be followed for at least two years after your hip replacement surgery to assess your long-term recovery and hip function.

Can I leave the study if I change my mind?

Yes, you can decide to stop participating at any point, and your decision won't affect your medical care.
