Details and patient eligibility

About

Study design: monocentric, retrospective, observational and post-market clinical study.

Purpose: To demonstrate the safety and performance of cephalic femoral heads. The eligible study population is represented by the entire population that underwent a hip replacement with cephalic femoral heads from 1st January 2023 onwards at the site in accordance with the indication for use of the product.

Full description

The study is aiming to demoranstrate safety and performance of cephalic femoral heads and will do it by considering the rate of revision of any prosthesis component and dislocation, by x-ray evaluation, by patient reported outcomes and walking/residential status. Patients are followed for 2 years after hemiarthroplasty and data are collected at 6 timepoints (pre-operative, intra-operative, at discharge, 4-months follow up, 12 months follow up and 24 months follow up).

Enrollment: 47 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

• No concurrent joint disease at the time of the surgery.
• Absence of severe cognitive dysfunction demonstrated by 3 or more correct answers on the Pfeiffer test.
• Ability to ambulate independently with or without walking aids before surgery.
• Subject willingness to participate.

Exclusion criteria

Trial design

47 participants in 1 patient group

Patients who underwent hip arthroplasty with cephalic femoral heads from 1at January 2023 onwards.

Description:

The study population for this clinical investigation includes subjects who suffered from a traumatic proximal femur fracture and underwent a Unipolar hemiarthroplasty with Cephalic femoral head from January 1st, 2023, onwards. Due to the characteristics of patients who underwent this type of surgery, it is expected that a considerable number of eligible patients would be in the elderly age.
