Harris Hip Score (Functional results of the operated hip) over time
The functional results of the operated hip will be assessed with the Harris Hip Score (HHS) and evaluated over time
Time frame: up to five years postoperatively
Survival of the implant
Any removal or exchange of the acetabular cup or the polyethylene inlay is defined as revision. A removal of the stem is not evaluated as acetabular revision but will be documented and evaluated as part of postoperative complications. The revision-free survival will be assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Time frame: up to five years postoperatively
Quality of Life over time
EQ-5D is a descriptive system of health-related quality of life states consisting of 5 dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression), each of which can take one of three responses reflecting severity (no problems/some or moderate problems/extreme problems).
Time frame: up to five years postoperatively
Radiological Assessment: Osseointegration of the cup over time
The acetabular component in AP view is divided into the three regions I-III as defined by DeLee-Charnley. All three regions will be assessed for osteolysis the implant, to allow an estimation of the osseous integration and stability of the implant.
Time frame: at 3 months, 24 months, 5 years follow-up
Radiological assessment: Radiographic loosening of the cup over time
The acetabular component in AP view is divided into the three regions I-III as defined by DeLee-Charnley. All three regions will be assessed for and radiolucent lines around the implant, to allow an estimation of the osseous integration and stability of the implant.
Time frame: at 3 months, 24 months, 5 years follow-up
