Brief summary

The objective of this study is to gather clinical and survivorship information for the C2a-Taper™ Acetabular System, a ceramic-on-ceramic hip articulating system.

Detailed description

Study Design: Phase 1 Sites will collect the following types of data: Clinical-Total Harris Hip Score, Radiographic Evaluation- measurements on acetabular and femoral components Survivorship-removal/revision of one or more components (i.e. liner, head, shell and/or stem) Safety- All other adverse events Follow-up Visit schedule * 6 week ± 2 weeks * 6 month ± 1 month * 1 year ± 3 months * 2 years ± 3 months * 3 years ± 3 months * 4 years ± 3 months * 5 years ± 3 months Phase 2: Patients continue to be followed on an annual basis (Years 6-10) via mail. A self assessment form is sent directly to the subject on an annual basis starting in the 6th post-operative year.

Interventions
