Scientific titleA randomised, controlled trial assessing the effectiveness of the iliac suction device in improving socket fixation in primary hip arthroplasty
Study objectivesDoes the use of an iliac suction device improve the clinical or radiological result of acetabular component survival primary total hip replacement?
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedSurgery: Primary hip arthroplasty
InterventionPatients undergoing primary total hip replacement will be randomised at the time of surgery. They will undergo the gold standard Exeter hip replacement in the usual fashion.
Half of the patients will have the iliac suction device applied at the time of socket insertion. Half of the patients will not. All will be followed up in the out-patient clinic at 6-8 weeks, 6 months, and at 1, 2, 4 and 5 year intervals. All of our usual post surgery measures will be followed. In addition, each patient will undergo radiostereometric analysis (RSA) examination at each of the attendances. At the end of 5 years, all results will be analysed and reported.

Primary outcome measureThe aim of the study is to perform a randomised controlled trial assessing the effectiveness of the iliac suction device in improving the bone-cement interface in primary total hip replacement.

Outcome measures including complications, clinical scores, gross radiological appearances and also movement assessed by the technique of RSA.

Study endpoints: Life Tables and Survival Curves with confidence limits for different definitions of failure including implant loosening and radiological evidence of failure including implant migration (as defined by RSA), excessive wear, radiolucencies etc. Log rank comparison.
