Post-approval Study of the DURALOC® Option Ceramic-on-Ceramic Hip Prosthesis System

This is an interventional treatment trial for Non-inflammatory Joint Disease focused on measuring Total hip replacement, Total hip arthroplasty Read More

Inclusion Criteria:

• Skeletally mature
• Provide informed consent
• Sufficient acetabular and femoral bone stock to seat the prosthesis
• Willing and able to return for follow-up as specified by the study protocol
• Willing and able to complete the hip outcomes questionnaire and quality of life survey (SF12)
• Undergo hip replacement due to non-inflammatory joint disease, including osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis, congenital hip dysplasia or post-traumatic arthritis.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Diagnosis of inflammatory arthritides such as rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, systemic lupus, erythematosis etc.
• Active infections that may spread to other systems such as osteomyelitis, pyogenic infection of the hip joint overt infection, etc.
• Loss of musculature, neuromuscular compromise or vascular deficiency in the affected limb which impedes evaluation.
• Poor bone quality (e.g. osteoporosis) such that there is concern about the ability of inadequate bone stock to support the implant.
• Morbid obesity
• Involvement in high levels of activity or participation in active sports
• Involvement in heavy manual labor employment
• Increased likelihood of falls due to concomitant illnesses or impairment
• Pregnancy, breast-feeding, a prisoner, mentally incompetent, a known alcohol or drug abuser
• Diagnosis of metabolic disorders or receiving systemic pharmacological treatments leading to progressive deterioration of solid bone support for the implant
• Known history of conditions that may interfere with the total hip arthroplasty survival or outcome (e.g. Paget's disease, Charcot's disease)
• Known presence of active metastatic or neoplastic disease
• Known allergic reactions to implant materials (e.g. ceramic, metal)
• Known history of tissue reactions to implant corrosion or implant wear debris
• Disabilities of other joints that impedes evaluation (e.g. knees, ankles)
• Known presence of highly communicable disease or diseases that may limit follow-up (e.g. immunocompromised conditions, hepatitis, active tuberculosis etc.)
• Previous prosthetic hip replacement device (any type including THA, surface replacement arthroplasty, endoprosthesis etc.)
