Plain English Summary

Background and study aims
Total hip replacement is one of the most common and successful techniques used in orthopaedic surgery. Along with cemented hip replacements, cementless hip replacement has proven its value. Still, the survival of hip implants is not indefinite. Over the years knowledge on stability, fixation and preservation of bone stock has increased considerably. Better understanding of joint movement also allow us to design implants with reduced joint reaction forces, which again may lead to improved survival of implants. The Stryker Accolade™ Femoral Component is a relatively new hip system constructed from a beta titanium alloy (TMZF®). The alloy, which can offer greater flexibility and higher tensile strength than standard titanium alloys, has an elasticity modulus (stiffness) that is closer to that of bone. The upper half of the stem is coated with a hydroxyapatite (HA) coating, which assists in bone ingrowth and provides a good interface for fixation of the stem. The Accolade II stem is an evolution of the Accolade TMZF stem. The size-specific fit of the stem has been redesigned to fit a broad range of bones sizes and shapes found in today’s patient population. The aim of this study is to determine the safety and survivorship of the Accolade/Accolade II stem and the Trident/Tritanium cup over 10 years and to document the patients’ clinical outcome and satisfaction.

Who can participate?
All patients eligible for a hip arthroplasty surgery involving the Accolade or Accolade II stem and Trident or Tritanium cup who have been informed about this surveillance register and who freely consent to participate.

What does the study involve?
The study involves the routine assessment of a hip arthroplasty procedure. Patients who participate in the study will be invited for routine visits and during each visit the patient will be asked to complete one questionnaire about their health and one about their activities and their hip. Follow-ups take place at 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 years after the surgery.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Patient benefits should include relief of pain and increase in functional capabilities, in addition to better assessment of the effect of prosthesis design and materials on functional and radiographic performance and bone remodelling around cementless femoral prostheses. This will increase the current scientific body of knowledge concerning total hip arthroplasty. As with any surgical procedure, certain risks are associated with total joint arthroplasty. These risks include but are not limited to: anaesthetic and post-anaesthetic reactions (such as hyperaemia), allergic reactions to prophylactic antibiotics or blood transfusions, damage to blood vessels or nerves, trochanteric or femoral fractures during implantation, perforation of the cortical wall, or death. After the operation, a patient may experience thrombophlebitis, pulmonary embolus, dislocation, pain, limp, component loosening, osteolysis due to wear debris or the need for additional surgery. Fracture of the prosthesis is a potential complication. Pre-clinical, clinical and mechanical testing of the Stryker Accolade and Accolade II Hip Stem and Trident/Tritanium cup indicate that the above mentioned risks should not occur at a rate greater than that of any other type of total hip arthroplasty reported in the literature.
