About this trial
The objective of this consecutive series PMCF study is to collect data confirming safety, performance, and clinical benefits of the Taperloc Complete stems when used for primary or revision total hip arthroplasty (implants) at 1,3,5,7 and 10-year follow-up\*. Since Taperloc Complete was introduced to the EU in 2010, all available retrospective data will be collected from each patient and a prospective aspect to the study will be necessary to reach the 10-year time point.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Device Safety assessed through the frequency and incidence of revisions, complications and Adverse Events.
The primary objective of this study is the assessment of safety by analyzing implant survivorship. This will be established by recording the incidence and frequency of revisions, complications and adverse events. Relation of the events to either implant or instrumentation should be specified.
Secondary outcomes
Device Performance and Benefits evaluated through the Harris Hip Score
The HHS is divided into 4 sub-categories; pain (44 points), function (47 points), range of motion (5 points), and absence of deformity (4 points). Patients select a discrete set of answers which correspond to predefined point allocations based on the category. To obtain a final score, these values are summed.
Device Performance and Benefits evaluated through the Oxford Hip Score
The OHS is a patient-completed, 12-question evaluation. Each item is scored from 1 to 5, with 1 representing best outcome/least symptoms and 5 representing worst outcome/most symptoms.
