Clinical Study on BiHapro Total Hip System With Different Surface Coatings

Clinical Study on BiHapro Total Hip System With Different Surface Coatings

This post market study intends to evaluate the safety and the performance of BiHapro Total Hip System with two types of coatings.

The efficacy of the prosthesis will be evaluated comparing the pain, the function and the range of motion measured preoperatively and postoperatively using recognized clinical outcomes Harris Hip Score. The secondary efficacy measurement is based on X-rays to measure the mineral bony thickness in the areas of Gruen zones of the proximal femur.

The patients who are selected for this study must fit the following criteria.

• Candidate for a Total Hip Arthroplasty
• Less than 80 years of age.
• A pre-operative level of pain and function the same as for conventional joint replacement.
• A likelihood of obtaining relief of pain and improved function.
• Full skeletal maturity.
• Ability to follow instructions.
• Good general health for age.
• Willing to return for follow-up evaluations.
• No bias to sex.
