Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Migration of the acetabular cup at two year postoperative, measured with RSA and CT. RSA x-rays will be collected at discharge, 6 weeks, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years after surgery. CT scans will be collected at discharge and 2 years after surgery. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Physical functioning, quality of life, pain and patient satisfaction will be scored with PROMs, consisting of: numeric rating scale (NRS) for pain in rest and during loading, Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score Short Form (HOOS-PS), EQ-5D and an anchor question about general daily functioning. All PROMs will be collected prior to surgery, at 6 months, 1 year, 2 years and 5 years after surgery. Standard X-rays will be used for analysing the quality of the cement mantle (ie. cement cracks, cortical hypertrophy), component position, rate of radiolucent lines (>2mm), loosening and subsidence. All implant related (serious) adverse events including reoperations and survival of the THA (cup and stem component) will be collected up to 5 years after surgery. | — |
