Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Summary
Brief summary
We propose to follow up 61 participants from a previous randomized controlled trial conducted in 2001-2002 at SCGH and Hollywood Private Hospital, which randomized participants for total hip replacement to either a ceramic-ceramic or metal-highly-crosslinked-plastic bearing surface. The 12-year outcomes, in terms of radiographically measured wear rate and implant migration, and clinical findings will be determined and presented for each group.
