Evaluation of radiographic and clinical outcomes following Absolut femoral prosthesis and Global acetabular cup total hip replacement surgery

This study is following patients who have received a total hip replacement using a specific combination of implants — the Absolut cemented femoral stem and the Global non-cemented acetabular cup — to evaluate how well the procedure works over time. Researchers are looking at both X-ray findings and how well patients feel and function after surgery. You may be eligible if: - You are 60 years of age or older - You have been diagnosed with degenerative joint disease of the hip - You are scheduled for a primary (first-time) total hip replacement You may NOT be eligible if: - You have an active infection in the affected hip - You have previously had a total hip replacement or hip fusion on that side - You have a nerve or muscle condition that limits the ability to safely evaluate the hip implant - You have a serious systemic illness that would affect your recovery or the study results Talk to your doctor about whether this trial might be right for you.
