Plain English Summary

Background and study aims
The hip is a ball and socket joint. The ball is at the top of your thigh bone, and the socket is part of your pelvic bone. In a total hip replacement (arthroplasty), both the ball and the socket will be replaced. The Trident® II acetabular component is a new implant that will be used to replace the socket of the hip aiming to offer patients a better range of movement, lower the risk of dislocation and a more stable joint. Trident implants are routinely used in South Tees hospital in patients who require a hip replacement. It is important to find out how the new Trident® II implant performs and how well patients are doing after surgery.

Who can participate?
People aged 40 to 75 who have issues with their hip joints like arthritis or injuries. Thesepeople should be willing and able to follow the doctor's orders after getting a new hip joint, and they should be okay with the idea of rehabilitation (exercise to get better). They must also be mentally ready and understand what they're signing up for. It's important that they don't have any major health problems that could interfere with the results.

What does the study involve?
Before surgery: This study will take place at South Tees Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, where their surgery and outpatient appointments would also take place. Eligible participants will be asked to read and understand a Participant Information Sheet and will be asked to sign an Informed Consent Form for the study. The research team will collect information from the participants medical notes, including x-rays. The team will also contact the participant via email or telephone to complete some questionnaires.

Surgery and hospital stay: The surgeon will perform the surgery using the Trident® II implant. The care the participant will receive in hospital will be the same as standard care. The research team will collect information from the participants medical notes about the surgery and hospital stay. X-rays will be taken before the participant leaves the hospital.

After surgery: The participant will be required to attend clinical appointments and receive additional x-rays as part of the enhanced follow-up process for up to 10 years. (1) Outpatient appointments: Participants will be required to attend outpatient appointments at 6-12 weeks, 1 year, 5 years and 10 years. The team will collect information on any issues and x-rays will also be taken during the 1 year, 5 year and 10 year appointments. (2) Questionnaires: Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires (at the appointment, over telephone or via email) at 6-12 weeks, 1 years, 3 years, 5 years, 7 years and 10 years.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Benefits of Trident II implant: A better range of movement, a lower risk of dislocation, a more stable joint compared to the standard component.
Benefits of a total hip replacement in general: Pain reduction, increased function, improved quality of life.
Risks of Trident II implant: The evidence from testing the Trident II acetabular component tells us that the risks are unlikely to be higher than the alternative options.

Risks of a total hip replacement in general: Failure of the implant due to a non-infection related cause (aseptic loosening of the prosthesis), infection, blood clot (deep vein thrombosis), post-operative pain, new bone in the soft tissues (heterotopic ossification), fracture of the implant or bone, loss of muscle function, dislocation, medical complications or death, leg length discrepancy, nerve and vessel injury.

Scientific titlePerformance and function of the Trident® II 3D printed acetabular component
Study acronymTrident® II 3D - South Tees
Study hypothesisThe risks of revision, re-operation and complications for a Trident II 3D printed acetabular component will be equivalent to other types of hybrid total hip replacement reported in the literature. The Trident II 3D printed acetabular component will demonstrate equivalent function and risk of dislocation compared to other types of hybrid total hip replacement reported in the literature.

Approved 15/03/2022, South West - Central Bristol Research Ethics Committee (Ground Floor, Temple Quay House, 2 The Square, Bristol, BS1 6PN, United Kingdom; +44 2071048029; centralbristol.rec@hra.nhs.uk), ref: 22/SW/0024

ConditionTotal hip arthroplasty
InterventionParticipants will undergo hip replacement surgery with Trident® II 3D printed acetabular component.

Patients will be included in the study for up to 11 years in total. Approximately a 12 month enrollment period, plus up to 10 years post-operative follow-up for each patient (6/12 weeks, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, 7 years, 10 years).
Intervention typeProcedure/Surgery
Primary outcome measure1. Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) assessing symptoms and functional limitations measured using the Oxford Hip Score (OHS) at baseline and at 1 year post-operatively
2. Device survivorship measured by clinical assessment (rates of re-operation and revision, including any adverse events) at 1 year post-operatively
Secondary outcome measures1. PROMs assessing symptoms and functional limitations measured using the Oxford Hip Score (OHS): pre-operative and 6-12 weeks, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, 7 years and 10 years post-operative
