Conditions

Total Hip Arthroplasty

Brief summary

Post-marketing clinical study,international, multi-centre, prospective, observational. The investigation will be carried out in 2 sites in Europe for a maximum total number of 160 patients.The aim of this study is to assess clinical, radiographic and subjective outcomes after hip arthroplasty with a cementless metaphyseal MINIMA short stem, define the survivorship of the implant and identify possible risk factors that may lead to failure.

Exclusion criteria

1. Body mass index over 28 kg/m2 for the modular version 2. Requiring revision of previous standard femoral stem 3. Symptomatic OA of the knees, spine, ankles or contralateral hip, if it can interfere with the evaluation of the target hip according to the Investigator 4.

Recurrent medical history of immune-mediated reactions or other systemic immune disorders 11. Vascular insufficiency or peripheral neuropathy of lower limbs severe enough to interfere with the study evaluation according to the Investigator 12. Current treatment or treatment for any malignancy within the previous 2 years before the preoperative visit 13. Previous organ transplant 14. Any intercurrent chronic disease or condition that may interfere with the completion of the 60-month follow-up, such as liver disease, severe coronary disease, or other clinically significant condition that the Investigator feels may affect the study evaluation 15. Known co-existent medical condition where death is anticipated within five years due to the pre-existing medical condition 16. Any clinically significant finding that would place the patient at health risk, impact the study, or affect the completion of the study 17. Current alcoholism, and/or any known current addiction to pain medications or drugs 18. Any psychiatric illness that would prevent comprehension of the details and nature of the study 19. Participation in any experimental drug/device study within the 6 months prior to the preoperative visit 20.
