The Harris hip Score (HHS) is an outcome measure that includes a series of questions answered by the patient and physical examinations recorded by a qualified health care Professional. The HHS covers four domains: pain (one item, 0-44 points), function and functional activities (seven items, 0-47 points), absence of deformity (one item, 0-4 points) and range of motion (one item, 0-5 points). The total score can vary from a range of 0 - 100. The outcome score can be categorized as Excellent: 90-100; Good: 80-90; Fair: 70-80; Poor: \< 70.

SF12: The SF-12 is a multipurpose short-form (SF) generic measure of health status. It consists of twelve questions that measure eight health domains to assess physical and mental health. Physical health-related domains include General Health (GH), Physical Functioning (PF), Role Physical (RP), and Body Pain (BP). Mental health-related scales include Vitality (VT), Social Functioning (SF), Role Emotional (RE), and Mental Health (MH). Scores ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better physical and mental health functioning.

Population: All study patients

Radiographic evaluation was performed in order to identify potential adverse events. Investigators at each site were responsible for reviewing the radiological images for any abnormal or significant findings and reporting adverse events if applicable. In addition, an independent radiographic reviewer performed assessments of radiographic films in terms of evidence of radiolucencies, osteolysis, subsidence, acetabular cup migration, and change in acetabular cup angle at 6 months, 1 year and 2 year post-operation. Outcomes included numbers of reported findings per anatomical position and time point.

Population: The numbers of participants listed for metal ion concentrations indicate the number of participants who showed metal ion levels above the detectable limit.

Metal ion levels (cobalt, chromium and titanium) were analyzed by an approved Central Laboratory at the time points listed below for all study subjects enrolled in this study. In addition, prior to a revision surgery, a blood draw for metal ion data collection was performed.

Population: All study patients. At preoperative, EQ-5D scores of only 57 patients (not collected at the US site) were available for this report.

EQ5D: The EQ-5D is a standardized Instrument widely used to measure health status. It is a self reported assessment about the patient's quality of life composed of two parts: a questionnaire and a visual analogue scale (VAS). The questionnaire includes 5 questions referring to mobility, self care, daily activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each question can be answered in five ways, indicating no, slight, moderate, severe problems or inability to complete the task. In the derived EQ-5D-5L score, the highest score is 1 and the lowest score is -0.573; negative numbers correspond to a self-assessed health state worse than being dead. The VAS is a vertical scale ranging from 100 ('The best health you can imagine') to 0 ('The warst health you can imagine') where the patient reports his/her self-rated health.
