In 2022, data from the UK's National Joint Registry (NJR) and the American Joint Replacement Registry (AJRR) indicated that Total Hip Replacement (THR) is the most commonly performed orthopaedic joint surgery. The NJR has observed that between 10 and 20% of hip implants require revision within the first 10 years. The main reasons for these revisions include implant fractures, joint incompatibility, aseptic loosening, dislocation and wear of the polyethylene (PE) insert. To address this problem, highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) inserts have been developed. Cross-linking helps to limit wear on polyethylene prostheses in total hip arthroplasty. However, there are concerns about the loss of elasticity of HXLPE and oxidation after implantation. A new generation of inserts based on highly cross-linked polyethylene (irradiation dose ≥100 Kgy), enriched with vitamin E, has been developed. This PE, called ECIMA, was developed to maintain mechanical properties, minimise PE wear and improve long-term oxidation resistance. In the HAS evaluation report on highly cross-linked polyethylene inserts dated 24 January 2023, data from the literature show less wear of highly cross-linked polyethylene compared to conventional polyethylene. Nevertheless, the use of highly cross-linked polyethylene is not yet the gold standard. Furthermore, the data in the literature mainly concern single-mobility cups but not double-mobility cups. Finally, new imaging protocols now make it possible to assess the wear of prosthesis materials more accurately. In this context, it seems appropriate to conduct a French study comparing double-mobility cups containing highly cross-linked polyethylene or conventional polyethylene inserts.
NCT06888908
Clinical assessment of bleeding and calculation of perioperative blood loss do not provide an accurate estimate of blood volume. This makes rational fluid management difficult, which is of high importance for patient-related outcomes. The availability of carbon monoxide(CO)-rebreathing allows for simple, non-invasive and precise measurement of changes in blood volume. The purpose of the study is to investigate and describe changes in blood volume and fluid distribution perioperative in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. Furthermore, to investigate the association between changes in blood volume and incidence of orthostatic insufficiency.
NCT06873568
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.
