What this trial studies
This study aims to evaluate the long-term safety, performance, and clinical benefits of the Avenir Complete femoral stem used in various hip surgeries, including total, hemi, and revision arthroplasty. The primary endpoint focuses on the survival of the implant system over a 10-year period, assessed through the Kaplan Meier method. Safety will be monitored by tracking adverse events related to the implant and procedure, while secondary endpoints will include patient-reported outcomes and radiographic assessments. The study involves patients who have experienced joint deterioration or previous hip surgery failures.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the long-term effectiveness and safety of the Avenir Complete hip implant, potentially improving patient outcomes in hip surgeries.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies on hip implants have shown promising results, indicating that this approach is supported by prior successful outcomes.
