The infection rate after Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) is about 1%. It is a serious condition, with high morbidity, sometimes fatal, requiring costly treatment. The treatment is difficult because "biofilm" forms very early after the bacterial contamination of the prosthesis. Prevent infection means reduce or prevent the formation of bacterial biofilm and controlling protein response to allow osseous-integration of the prosthesis. A new prosthesis was developped, grafted by PolyNaSS (polysodium styrenesulfonate). This bioactive polymer allows to substantially reduce bacterial adhesion and increase biocompatibility and bio-integration in preclinical studies. This first clinical study aims to compare the osseous-integration of this prosthesis to the same prothesis with no grafting. No previous clinical trial

Osseous-integration of the femoral stem and the acetabular component
(Yes/No). THA will be judged "osseointegrated" if the acetabulum AND the femur meet the following osseous-integration criteria: * femur: score of Engh and Massin strictly greater than 10 * AND acetabulum: Implant migration less than 5 mm AND no total radiolucent line and no osteocondensation at the bone-cup interface in the 3 zones of Gruen
Time frame: 1 year post-surgery for both groups
Mid-term survival rate of the hip prosthesis
Based on the unipolar or bipolar change of the femoral head regardless of the cause, septic or mechanical.
Time frame: 15 years post-surgery for CERAFIT group and 16 years post-surgery for ACTISURF group
Score ARA femur of Epinette
Adaptation criteria of the bone to the cementless stem
Time frame: 1 year post-surgery for both groups
Hip prosthesis infection rate defined according to the 2011 criteria of the Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS). In case of suspicion of infection, a hip joint aspiration with synovial fluid culture will be performed.
yes/no
Time frame: 2 years post-surgery for both groups
Postel Merle d'Aubigné (PMA) score
From 18 (perfect) to 0 (worst)
Time frame: 2 years post-surgery for both groups. 5, 10 years post-surgery for CERAFIT group. 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 years post-surgery for ACTISURF group.
Harris Hip Score (HHS)
10 question items and scores range from 0-100 with higher scores representing less dysfunction and better outcomes.
Time frame: 2 years post-surgery for both groups. 5, 10 years post-surgery for CERAFIT group. 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 years post-surgery for ACTISURF group.
Forgotten Hip Score (FHS)
12 question items and scores range from 0-100 with higher scores representing a forgotten hip (excellent)
Time frame: 2 years post-surgery for both groups. 5, 10 years post-surgery for CERAFIT group. 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 years post-surgery for ACTISURF group.
Osseous-integration of the femoral stem and the acetabular component based on radiographies
Subsidence of the femoral stem, presence of periprosthetic radiolucent lines in the Gruen and Amstutz zones (femur) and in the DeLee and Charnley zones (acetabulum), Brooker score
Time frame: 2 years post-surgery for both groups. 5 and 10 years post-surgery for CERAFIT group. 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 years post-surgery for ACTISURF group.
THA survival
Event=THA revision (change of the stem or acetabular component) whatever the reason (infectious or mechanical failure)
Time frame: 6 years post-surgery for ACTISURF group. 10 years post-surgery for both groups.
Adverse and serious adverse events evaluation
Occurrence of related to THA serious adverse events after 2 post-operative years
Time frame: For ACTISURF group: at 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 years post-surgery. For CERAFIT group: at 5, 10, and 15 years post-surgery.
