The primary objective of this project is to investigate, using RSA, acetabular implant migration of the OsseoTi™ G7 acetabular cup in comparison to conventional PPS coated G7 acetabular cup, and compare liner wear of thinnest available E1™ liner, allowing for the largest possible femoral head (36mm-44mm) to E1™ liner holding a 32mm femoral head in the G7 acetabular system with endpoint assessment being performed at the 2 year follow-up.

RSA migration in 3 dimentions of the acetabular components as measured by Radiostereometric analysis, RSA.
Radiostereometric analysis, RSA, is an accurate technique for measuring small relative motions from sequential sets of radiographs over time and has been used to measure polyethylene wear and implant migration. Measurements are performed in microns.
