Summary

This trial tests whether using a metal hip implant leads to higher metal levels in the blood.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-80 with a BMI under 40 who need hip replacement surgery and are willing to have blood tests after the operation. It's not for those with prior hip infections, other metal implants (except dental), non-osteoarthritis diagnoses, poor kidney function, previous hip surgeries with metal devices, chromium supplement use, serious chronic diseases or expecting another joint surgery within a year.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two groups in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA): one receiving dual mobility components designed to reduce dislocation risk and wear; the other getting conventional single bearing surfaces. The focus is on whether the dual mobility increases metal levels in blood.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, generally THA can lead to pain at the site of surgery, infection risks, possible allergic reactions to materials used in implants which may affect serum metal levels.

Group I: Modular Dual Mobility CohortExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients in this group will receive a Taperloc femoral stem, inner ceramic femoral head (28mm), mobile polyethylene bearing, cobalt alloy liner, and G7 acetabular shell.
Group II: Conventional CohortActive Control1 Intervention
Patients in this group will receive a Taperloc femoral stem, ceramic femoral head (size 32mm for acetabular components 48/50mm; size 36mm for acetabular components > 52mm), polyethylene bearing, and G7 acetabular shell.
