AI summary
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for adults aged 50 to 75 who need a first total hip replacement on one side because of non-inflammatory joint wear. It compares a new reverse hip implant with hip implants already on the market.
- Age
- 50 to 75 years
- Sex
- All sexes
- Disease stage
- Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease of the hip needing a first (primary) total hip replacement on one side. Examples are osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis (bone death from poor blood supply), arthritis after injury, slipped capital epiphysis, pelvic fracture or diastrophic variant.
- Earlier treatment
- People cannot join if they had a hip replacement, partial hip replacement or fusion in the other hip in the last 24 months. If it was more than 24 months ago, the other hip's pain must be below 2 on a 0-10 scale.
Main reasons for not taking part
- Need for both hips replaced, or a planned replacement of the other hip or a knee in the next 24 months
- Allergy to titanium, XLPE or cobalt chromium (CoCr)
- Inflammatory joint disease such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus, or past joint infection in the hip to be treated
- Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or higher, or moderate to severe kidney weakness
- Active cancer or invasive cancer in the last 5 years, active infection, pregnancy, or being a competitive or professional athlete
The registry criteria, word for word
Show all 26 criteriaShow less
Who can take part
- Patient requires primary THA due to NIDJD or any of its composite diagnoses such as osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis, posttraumatic arthritis, slipped capital epiphysis, fracture of the pelvis, and diastrophic variant requiring unilateral primary THA
- Patient is between 50 (inclusive) and 75 (inclusive) years of age at the time of enrollment
- Patient has preoperative medical clearance and is free from or treated for medical conditions that would pose excessive operative risk
- Patient has a signed and dated Informed Consent Form (ICF)
- Patient is willing and able to participate in required follow-up visits at the investigational site and to complete study procedures and questionnaires
Who cannot take part
- Patient has received earlier THA, hemi-arthroplasty, or fusion in the contralateral hip in the last 24 months
- Patient has received earlier THA, hemi-arthroplasty, or fusion in the contralateral hip more than 24 months ago and has a contralateral hip-specific pain rating of ≥2 on a Numeric Rating Scale 0-10
- Patient has insufficient acetabular or femoral bone stock in which good anchorage of the implants is unlikely or impossible
- Patient has a known allergy to titanium and/or XLPE
- Patient has a history of septic arthritis in the index joint
- Patient has known moderate to severe renal insufficiency
- Patient has vascular insufficiency, muscular atrophy, or neuromuscular disease in either leg (based on the Investigator's judgment)
- Patient has an active malignancy or history of invasive malignancy within the last 5 years, except for superficial basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin that has been definitively treated. Patients with carcinoma in situ of the uterine cervix definitively treated more than 1 year prior to enrollment may enter the study
- Patient has Paget's disease, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, or osteomalacia
- Patient has an inflammatory DJD including any of its composite diagnoses: rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, pigmented villonodular synovitis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, and other arthritic processes of inflammatory or autoimmune etiology
- Patient has any condition that would interfere with self-assessment of pain, function, or quality of life (QoL) required for patient-reported outcomes during the study (based on the Investigator's judgment)
- Patient has an active infection (e.g., hepatitis, Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), AIDS-related Complex (ARC)) that is systemic or at the site of the intended surgery
- Patient needs bilateral hip replacement or has a planned THA on the contralateral hip joint in the next 24 months
- Patient needs knee arthroplasty or has a planned total knee arthroplasty in the next 24 months
- Patient has known metal sensitivities to cobalt chromium (CoCr)
- Patient has total or partial absence of the muscular or ligamentous apparatus
- Patient has a deformity of the affected limb or significant anatomic variance of the affected hip
- Patient has a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or higher
- Patient is currently participating in any investigational study not related to this study's preoperative or postoperative care
- Patient is currently pregnant or is planning to become pregnant during the study
- Patient is a competitive or professional athlete

About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of the HIT Reverse Hip Replacement System is safe and effective in patients undergoing total hip replacement. We will determine whether it is safe and effective by comparing it to the control devices.
The 2 groups in the trial
- Experimental Arm - HIT Reverse HRSTreatment being tested
Subjects in the Experimental Arm will receive the HIT Reverse HRS Investigational Device. Implantation of the Investigational Device is performed using standard surgical procedures for THA, as described in the Instructions for Use (IFU). The control hip systems will be implanted in accordance with their respective IFU, which are also in line with standard surgical approaches for THA.
Treatment: Hip Innovation Technology Reverse Hip Replacement System
- Control ArmExisting treatment, for comparison
Subjects in the Control Arm will receive one of the already-marketed semi- constrained uncemented hip systems using a metal-on-highly-cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) or ceramic-on-XLPE bearing combination.
Treatment: Already-marketed semi-constrained uncemented hip systems using a metal-on-XLPE or ceramic-on-XLPE bearing combination.
