Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this randomised prospective multicenter longterm study is to evaluate the survival rate of the implant, wear and periprosthetic osteolysis of highly cross-linked polyethylene with and without addition of Vitamin E (UHMWPE-XE vs. UHMWPE-X) in Total Hip Arthroplasty.
