Brief summary

This Post-Approval study is prospective follow-up study designed to evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of the Reflection Ceramic Acetabular System.

Detailed description

This Post-Approval study is prospective follow-up study designed to evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of the Reflection Ceramic Acetabular System. Randomized Non-inflammatory Arthritis, Randomized Inflammatory and Continued Access Cohorts patients previously enrolled in the IDE study will be evaluated annually through five (5) year follow-up. In addition, all patients enrolled in the original study cohorts as well as the continued access patients will be sent a letter questionnaire annually at the 6-10 year postoperative time point to assess the patient's general well-being and if the study components are still in place

Interventions

DEVICEReflection Ceramic-Ceramic Total Hip Replacement

Intervention: all patients in study required (intervention) a total hip replacement, and were randomized to receive either the (Study Device)Reflection Ceramic Acetabular System or the(Control Device) Reflection FSO V (5 hole)acetabular system. Both arms received either a Synergy porous coated or Spectron EF stem.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Survival of Hip Implant Based on Number of Hips Requiring RevisionPostoperatively through Year 10Revisions were assessed cumulatively from Initial Study Period through Post-Approval Study Period and End of Study/Withdrawal. Implant survival was analyzed based on the number of hip revisions that occurred as well as the cohort for each study arm (IP and Control), but further categorized by cohorts within each arm: RNIA = randomized, non-inflammatory arthritis cohort (IP or Control) RIA = randomized, inflammatory arthritis cohort (IP or Control) RR = revision cohort (IP or Control) CAC = continued access cohort (IP only)
Survival of Hip Implant Based on Time Until Revision RequiredPostoperatively through Year 10The survival of the implant was analyzed based on the length of time postoperatively until hip revision surgery was required (cumulatively through Initial Study Period and Post-Approval Study Period) for participants who required a revision surgery during the course of the study. The study arms were further categorized by cohorts within each arm: RNIA = randomized, non-inflammatory arthritis cohort (IP or Control) RIA = randomized, inflammatory arthritis cohort (IP or Control) RR = revision cohort (IP or Control) CAC = continued access cohort (IP only)
Subject Satisfaction QuestionnaireYear 6 through Year 10 postoperativelyA subject satisfaction questionnaire was conducted at Year 6, Year 7, Year 8, Year 9, and Year 10 postoperatively. The questionnaire was mailed to enrolled subjects each year (Years 6-10). The question was asked Are you satisfied with hip? and subjects responded either yes or no.

Participant flow

Pre-assignment details

There were 456 subjects (535 hips) enrolled initially at the beginning of the study. For the Post-Approval Study period (Year 6 through Year 10), 29 subjects (10 from the IP group, 19 from the control group) were excluded from analysis in the Intent-to-Treat (ITT) population and thus not included in the Participant Flow or Outcome Measures for this period.

Subject Satisfaction Questionnaire

A subject satisfaction questionnaire was conducted at Year 6, Year 7, Year 8, Year 9, and Year 10 postoperatively. The questionnaire was mailed to enrolled subjects each year (Years 6-10). The question was asked Are you satisfied with hip? and subjects responded either yes or no.

Time frame: Year 6 through Year 10 postoperatively

Population: The number analyzed include all enrolled subjects who responded to the questionnaire at each time point.

Survival of Hip Implant Based on Number of Hips Requiring Revision

Revisions were assessed cumulatively from Initial Study Period through Post-Approval Study Period and End of Study/Withdrawal. Implant survival was analyzed based on the number of hip revisions that occurred as well as the cohort for each study arm (IP and Control), but further categorized by cohorts within each arm: RNIA = randomized, non-inflammatory arthritis cohort (IP or Control) RIA = randomized, inflammatory arthritis cohort (IP or Control) RR = revision cohort (IP or Control) CAC = continued access cohort (IP only)

Time frame: Postoperatively through Year 10

Population: All hips/participants were assessed using the ITT population, which excluded 29 enrolled participants from analysis not meeting ITT criteria.

Survival of Hip Implant Based on Time Until Revision Required

The survival of the implant was analyzed based on the length of time postoperatively until hip revision surgery was required (cumulatively through Initial Study Period and Post-Approval Study Period) for participants who required a revision surgery during the course of the study. The study arms were further categorized by cohorts within each arm: RNIA = randomized, non-inflammatory arthritis cohort (IP or Control) RIA = randomized, inflammatory arthritis cohort (IP or Control) RR = revision cohort (IP or Control) CAC = continued access cohort (IP only)

Time frame: Postoperatively through Year 10

Population: Analysis is presented by individual hip ID numbers to demonstrate time before a revision was required as well as the corresponding cohorts of each. All hips/participants were assessed using the ITT population, which excluded 29 enrolled participants from analysis not meeting ITT criteria.
