Long-term follow-up on hip implant stability after 10 years
Official title: The 10-year Follow-up of the Delta-TT Trial: Stability of the Delta-TT Cup with Polyethylene Insert Compared to the Delta-TT Cup with Ceramic Insert.
Run by JointResearch · NCT06864897 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study looks at how well hip implants have held up over 10 years for patients who had them, comparing different materials to see which is more stable and less likely to loosen.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are individuals who were enrolled in the initial Delta-TT trial and have undergone total hip prosthesis surgery.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are unable or unwilling to provide informed consent or are deemed unsuitable by the investigator will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study follows up on patients from the initial Delta-TT trial to assess the long-term migration patterns of the Delta-TT cup and H-MAX S stem. It compares the outcomes of ceramic and polyethylene liners in terms of stability and potential risk of aseptic loosening. The study utilizes radiostereometric analysis (RSA) to measure implant stability at the 10-year postoperative mark, aiming to provide insights into implant performance over time. Additionally, it evaluates patient-reported outcomes and implant survival rates.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable information on the long-term effectiveness and safety of hip implants, guiding future surgical decisions.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown success in using RSA to evaluate implant stability, making this approach both validated and relevant.
