Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The R3 Acetabular System is designed with large ball heads providing increased range of motion and greater stability. This can significantly reduce the risk of hip dislocation, which is a crucial factor in the long term success of an implant. CoCr is an alloy of cobalt chrome with improved properties that make it suitable for use against ultra high molecular weight polyethylene surfaces in opposing friction couples.the length of the study is upto 5 years.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 4157 0
Safety will be measured by assessing all adverse events experienced by patients implanted with the study device.The incidence of surgery-related and device-related events such as device revision, component failure, malfunction, migration, subluxation, dislocation, loosening, nerve damage, deep infection, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or bone breakage/fracture will be collected.
Timepoint [1] 4157 0
Subjects will be seen at the 6 months, 1 year, 2 year, 3 year and 5 years interval post surgery.
Secondary outcome [1] 7000 0
Effectiveness will be measured using the Harris Hip Score, a patient self assessment questionnaire, and radiographic assessment.
Timepoint [1] 7000 0
Subjects will be seen at the 6 months, 1 year, 2 year, 3 year and 5 years interval

Key exclusion criteria
Subjects with any of the following characteristics must be excluded from
participation in the study.

Summary
Brief summary
This study will investigate functional performance of the R3 Acetabular System, compared to a previous design, the Reflection System. Both systems are under approval by the Therapeutic Goods Administration, however the functional performance of the R3 Acetabular System compared to other systems has not yet been investigated.
