Radiographic Migration Analysis of the Insignia Hip Stem

This is a single-centre, non-randomized, non-controlled trial of patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty using the Insignia hip stem. Patients will undergo RSA and CT-RSA imaging and analyses to identify migration of the femoral stem with respect to the adjuvant bone during the first 2 post-operative years.

The primary outcome of this study is to determine if femoral stem stability is achieved between 6-12 month and 12-24 month post-operative intervals.

• Ability to give informed consent

Exclusion criteria

• Active or prior infection
• Medical condition precluding major surgery
• Medical condition with less than 2 years life expectancy
• Overhanging pannus (direct anterior approach)
• Prior surgery of the hip involving implantation of hardware (i.e., hemiarthroplasty, internal fixation, pelvic reconstruction near the acetabulum requiring removal)

• Multi-level lumbar spine fusion
• Ankylosing spondylolithesis
• Shortening osteotomy through the femur
