Cemented Acetabular Cups Clinical Study

A Prospective Clinical Study Evaluating Clinical, Radiographic And Patient-Reported Outcomes Of THA With Cemented Acetabular Cups

This clinical study has the aim to evaluate clinical, radiographic, patient-reported outcomes of total hip arthroplasty with the implant of Mueller cemented acetabular cups up to 2 years after surgery, in order to assess the performance of the device. Furthermore, it aims to collect short-term survivorship of the implant and the incidence of early complications.
