Inclusion criteria

* Male or female patient implanted with a primary total hip replacement using a ceramic friction pair including Meije Duo® stem associated with a Dynacup® cup. * Aged of more than 18 years at the time of the surgery. * Patient with a follow-up of at least 2 years after surgery based on a consecutive and exhaustive series of patients operated within the inclusion period. * Able to understand information to participate to the study.

Exclusion criteria

* Patient having a tumoral pathology. * Patient having expressed opposition to the study participation.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
General Performance: MobilityBaselineMobility of the hip is assessed by the maximum value in the range of motions, expressed in degrees (°). Normal values (usually observed range of motions) are: extension (from 0 to 30°), flexion (from 0 to 120°), abduction (from 0 to 45°), adduction (from 0 to 30°), external rotation (from 0 to 45°) and internal rotation (from 0 to 45°). Higher values are the best and a negative value indicates that the patient(s) can't reach the minimum normal range of motion.

MeasureTime frameDescription
General Performance: Objective Clinical Score (PMA)BaselinePostel Merle d'Aubigne (PMA) rating contains three items; pain, function and hip mobility; each noted 0 to 6 points (0 is the worst possible score and 18 is the best possible PMA score).
General Performance: Radiological Assessment.2-year Follow-up visitRadiological assessment is based on : * Cup radiological signs of osteolysis or radiolucencies. * Stem radiological signs of osteolysis or radiolucencies. * Ossifications according to Brooker classification from class I: Ossification around the hip joint. to class IV: shows apparent bone ankylosis of the hip. (i.e Class 0 = no ossification) * Other Radiological signs

Participant flow

Recruitment details

All patients who received the same Total Hip Replacement system for primary hip replacement between July and October 2010 were contacted for study participation.

General Performance: Mobility

Mobility of the hip is assessed by the maximum value in the range of motions, expressed in degrees (°). Normal values (usually observed range of motions) are: extension (from 0 to 30°), flexion (from 0 to 120°), abduction (from 0 to 45°), adduction (from 0 to 30°), external rotation (from 0 to 45°) and internal rotation (from 0 to 45°). Higher values are the best and a negative value indicates that the patient(s) can't reach the minimum normal range of motion.

Time frame: Baseline

Population: 80 patients were available but per-protocol some pre-operative data were not available for the analysis of mobilities
