About

Objective: The main objective of this study is to compare the (early) migration of the cemented BiMobile cup at two year post-surgery between two different cup sizes after standard optimal reaming, and consequently adjusting the cement mantle into circa 2 or 4 mm, in patients with a primary cemented total hip arthroplasty (THA). Additionally, the results of the BiMobile cup will be compared to the Avantage cup, which is placed with a standard cup size, resulting in a cement mantle of approximately 2 mm.

Study design: A prospective single centre blinded randomised controlled trial.

Study population: All patients who meet the criteria to undergo a cemented THA.

Full description

Rationale: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a commonly performed surgery in patients with end-stage osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip. Although it is known as a successful procedure, (recurrent) dislocation after THA is a major problem and results in a deterioration in quality of life. Dislocation after THA is the number one cause of early revision surgery.

Dual-Mobility (DM) acetabular cups should provide more stability and biomechanically reduce the risk of (early) dislocation. Potential disadvantages of DM cups are increased liner wear, psoas impingement and loosening. This might result in more revision surgery at mid- and longer-term follow-up for the cemented cups. If the cemented fixation technique improves, this might diminish the disadvantages of more revisions due to loosening in cemented cups. High quality evidence guiding the best technique for cemented fixation is however lacking. The risk of implant loosening might be reduced by increasing the amount of cement used for cup fixation. It is currently unknown whether size of the implant, and thereby the amount of cement, affects stability and survival. To fill this gap in knowledge, this study will compare cup migration, as an indicator for loosening, in a new dual mobility cup (BiMobile, Waldemar Link GmbH & Co. KG, Hamburg, Germany), using a larger or smaller cup size (and thereby different amounts of cement: approximately 2mm or 4mm cement mantle). These results will also be compared with the Avantage cup (ZimmerBiomet), which is yet considered as a standard dual mobility cup in the Netherlands. Migration will be measured with Rontgen Stereophotogrammetry Analysis (RSA), which is currently the gold standard for measuring early migration and predicting long term survival. A relatively new and less intensive way to measure migration of prostheses is the use of computer tomography (CT) scans, however there is still little scientific evidence on how accurately this can be done. This study therefore also measures the accuracy with which migration is measured, between CT scans and RSA.

Objective: The main objective of this study is to compare the (early) migration of the cemented BiMobile cup at two year post-surgery between two different cup sizes after standard optimal reaming, and consequently adjusting the cement mantle into circa 2 or 4 mm, in patients with a primary cemented THA. Additionally, the results of the BiMobile cup will be compared to the Avantage cup, which is placed with a standard cup size, resulting in a cement mantle of approximately 2 mm.

Study design: A prospective single centre blinded randomised controlled trial.

Study population: At the outpatient clinic of OLVG, all patients who meet the criteria to undergo a cemented THA will be screened for the in- and exclusion criteria.

Intervention:

Group A: 25 patients will receive a cemented THA with a BiMobile dual mobility cup, in a standard size after optimal reaming, resulting in a cement mantle of approximately 2mm.

Group B: 25 patients will receive a cemented THA with a BiMobile dual mobility cup, in one size smaller than standard after optimal reaming, resulting in a cement mantle of approximately 4mm.

Group C: 25 patients will receive a cemented THA with an Avantage dual mobility cup, in a standard size after optimal reaming, resulting in a cement mantle of approximately 2mm.

Main study parameters/endpoints:

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.
