Study of Vitamin E Doped Highly Cross-linked Polyethylene in Hip Replacement Compared to Ceramic-on-Ceramic Prostheses For Adults Aged 18 to 65 with Hip Arthropathy

What this Trial Is About

This research investigates the use of a highly cross-linked polyethylene acetabular component doped with vitamin E in total hip arthroplasty for young and active adults aged 18 to 65 years with hip arthropathy. The study compares this new type of prosthesis to a ceramic-on-ceramic prosthesis to understand their performance and benefits in hip replacement surgery. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups one group receives a prosthesis with a second-generation ceramic-on-highly cross-linked polyethylene CoPXE couple, while the other group receives a prosthesis with ceramic-on-ceramic CoC torque. The study is single-blind and conducted at a single center. During the study, researchers will measure the wear thickness of the two friction pairs over five years to assess durability. Participants will undergo regular follow-up visits for monitoring, including evaluations related to the prosthesis and hip function. The total participation period includes these assessments and monitoring visits to ensure safety and gather outcome data.
