This is an interventional treatment trial for Osteoarthritis focused on measuring osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, correction of functional deformity, dysplasia of the hip Read More

Inclusion Criteria:

1. preoperative Harris Hip Score of ≤ 70.
2. preoperative Harris Hip Total Pain score of at least moderate.
3. diagnosed with non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, correction of functional deformity, developmental hip dysplasia (DDH) and congenital hip dysplasia (CDH).
4. pain rating of none or slight and are at least 12 months post-operative in the contralateral hip, if applicable.
5. have sufficient femoral and acetabular bone stock as determined by a clinician, and are suitable to receive implants as confirmed by x-rays.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. have a nutritional problem (protein, calorie, or vitamin/mineral deficiency) that may impair wound healing mechanisms as determined by the clinician /investigator.
2. have a neurological disorders which may interfere or adversely affect gait, balance, or weight bearing (e.g. muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis).
3. diagnosed with metabolic disorders (e.g. osteomalacia), which may impair bone metabolism.
4. diagnosed systemic disease that would affect their welfare or the overall outcome of study (i.e. Paget's disease, renal osteodystrophy)
5. immunologically suppressed.
6. receiving systemic steroid therapy, excluding inhalers, within 3 months prior to surgery.
7. diagnosed Charcot's disease, metastatic or neoplastic disease.
8. evidence of active infections that may spread to other areas of the body (e.g. osteomyelitis, pyogenic infection of the hip joint, overt infection, untreated urinary tract infection, etc.).
9. presence of a previous prosthetic hip replacement device (any type, including surface replacement arthroplasty, endoprosthesis, etc.) in the hip joint to be operated.
