Conditions
Brief summary
The objective of this consecutive series PMCF study is to collect data confirming safety, performance, and clinical benefits of the Taperloc Complete stems when used for primary or revision total hip arthroplasty (implants) at 1,3,5,7 and 10-year follow-up\*. Since Taperloc Complete was introduced to the EU in 2010, all available retrospective data will be collected from each patient and a prospective aspect to the study will be necessary to reach the 10-year time point.
Detailed description
The objective of this consecutive series PMCF study is to collect data confirming safety, performance, and clinical benefits of the Taperloc Complete stems when used for primary or revision total hip arthroplasty (implants) at 1,3,5,7 and 10-year follow-up\*. Since Taperloc Complete was introduced to the EU in 2010, all available retrospective data will be collected from each patient and a prospective aspect to the study will be necessary to reach the 10-year time point. The primary objective is to confirm safety of the study products. This will be assessed by recording the incidence and frequency of revisions, complications, and adverse events. Relationship of the events to either implant or instrumentation should be specified. The secondary objective is the assessment of performance and clinical benefits by analyzing recorded patient-reported clinical outcomes measures (PROMs). \*The most recent available data will be used. If any of the listed time points are not available, data will be used from last available time point and follow-up will move forward at the closest available time point
Interventions
Patients that have been implanted with a Taperloc Complete Stem to improve hip malfunction/disease.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Patient must be 18 years of age or older and skeletally mature * Patient must be willing and able to sign IRB approved informed consent * Patient must have undergone primary or revision hip arthroplasty with the -Taperloc Complete stem according to a cleared indication, which includes the following: * Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis * Rheumatoid arthritis * Correction of functional deformity * Treatment of non-union, femoral neck fracture, and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement, unmanageable by other techniques
Exclusion criteria
* Off-label use * Infection * Sepsis * Osteomyelitis * Uncooperative patient or patient with neurologic disorders who are incapable of following directions * Osteoporosis * Metabolic disorders which may impair bone formation * Osteomalacia * Distant foci of infections which may spread to the implant site * Rapid joint destruction, marked bone loss or bone resorption apparent on roentgenogram * Vascular insufficiency, muscular atrophy, or neuromuscular disease * Patient is known to be pregnant or nursing * Patient is a prisoner * Patient is a known alcohol or drug abuser * Patient has a psychiatric illness or cognitive deficit that will not allow for proper informed consent
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Device Safety assessed through the frequency and incidence of revisions, complications and Adverse Events. | Out to 10 Years | The primary objective of this study is the assessment of safety by analyzing implant survivorship. This will be established by recording the incidence and frequency of revisions, complications and adverse events. Relation of the events to either implant or instrumentation should be specified. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Device Performance and Benefits evaluated through the Harris Hip Score | Out to 10 Years | The HHS is divided into 4 sub-categories; pain (44 points), function (47 points), range of motion (5 points), and absence of deformity (4 points). Patients select a discrete set of answers which correspond to predefined point allocations based on the category. To obtain a final score, these values are summed. |
| Device Performance and Benefits evaluated through the Oxford Hip Score | Out to 10 Years | The OHS is a patient-completed, 12-question evaluation. Each item is scored from 1 to 5, with 1 representing best outcome/least symptoms and 5 representing worst outcome/most symptoms. |
