Avenir Complete Post-Market Clinical Follow-Up Study

Global, Multicenter, and Prospective Post-Market Clinical Follow-Up Study of the Avenir Complete™ Femoral Stem (Implants and Instrumentation)

The main objectives of this study are to confirm the long-term safety, performance and clinical benefits the Avenir Complete femoral stem and its instrumentation when used in primary total, hemi, and revision hip arthroplasty.

The main objectives of this study are to confirm the long-term safety, performance and clinical benefits the Avenir Complete™ femoral stem and its instrumentation when used in primary total, hemi, and revision hip arthroplasty:

The primary endpoint is defined by the survival of the implant system at 10 years, which is based on the removal or intended removal of the "study device and determined using Kaplan Meier method. The safety of the system will be assessed by monitoring the frequency and incidence of adverse events. Relation of the events to implant, instrumentation and/or procedure should be specified.

The secondary endpoints are the assessment of performance and clinical benefits by recording patient-reported clinical outcomes measures (PROMs) as well as radiographic outcomes (if available).

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patient is at least 20 years old or older and skeletally mature.

  • Hemi-arthroplasty or total hip replacement (THR)

• Acute traumatic fracture of the femoral head or neck;

• Avascular necrosis of the femoral head.

  • a known alcohol or drug abuser
  • anticipated to be non-compliant

• Patients with plans to relocate during the study follow-up period;

• Individuals whose willingness to volunteer in a clinical investigation could be unduly influenced by the expectation, whether justified or not, of benefits associated with participation or of retaliatory response from senior members of a hierarchy in case of refusal to participate;
