Brief Summary

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

The objective of this PMCF is to collect clinical and radiographic outcome information on Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) performed with LINK® SP-CL® Hip Prosthesis Stem under routine conditions.

The results collected will be used to clinically confirm the performance and safety of the LINK® SP-CL® Hip Prosthesis Stem in terms of the manufacturer's obligation to perform a PMCF. Furthermore the results can be used for future regulatory processes if needed.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Post Market Clinical Follow-ups (PMCF) through observational studies are an important tool to detect infrequent complications or problems, events specific to defined patient populations and long term performance issues under routine conditions \[2,3\]. Against this background a prospective multi-center outcome study of the LINK® SP-CL® is planned.
