Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The intervention involves the surgical replacement of the hip joint performed by an orthopaedic surgeon using the Minihip Stem (Corin Ltd) hip prosthesis. This stem is designed as a femoral neck preserving, short prosthesis with the philosophy of bone preservation in the proximal area (metaphysis) of the femur.
Surgical approach will be via the direct anterior approach. Approximate duration of the surgical procedure is 60-90 minutes.

Treatment: Devices
Intervention code [2] 292427 0
Treatment: Surgery
Comparator / control treatment
The control intervention involves the surgical replacement of the hip joint performed by an orthopaedic surgeon using the Metafix Stem (Corin Ltd) hip prosthesis. This stem is a conventional hip stem prosthesis, that does not preserve the femoral neck. Conventional hip stems are the most commonly utilised femoral prostheses and are standard of care.
Surgical approach will be via the direct anterior approach. Approximate duration of the surgical procedure is 60-90 minutes.

Study design
Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Participants will be randomly assigned to either group with a 1:1 allocation as per a computer generated randomization schedule by using permuted blocks of random sizes. The block sizes will not be disclosed, to ensure concealment. Participants will be randomized using the Interactive Voice response System provided by the NHMRC Clinical Trials Center, which is an online central randomization service. Allocation concealment will be ensured, as the service will not release the randomization code until just before the patient is going to be operated has been recruited into the trial, which takes place after all baseline measurements have been completed. The investigators will obtain this code just before the start of the surgery.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
The allocation sequence will be generated by the IVRS by the NHMRC-CTC applying a permuted block design with random blocks stratified by age. The randomization list remains with them for the whole duration of the study. Thus, randomization will be conducted without any influence of the principal investigators.

Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
Baseline patient demographic (age, sex, ethnicity, other) and clinical characteristics (height, weight, BMI, ROM, leg length) will be summarised for each study arm using means and SD, or medians and interquartile ranges for continuous variables and percentages for categorical variables.

Pilot data available for 20 patients has been used to conservatively estimate the difference in horizontal femoral offset (baseline - 3 month) between the groups is 7mm, with a standard deviation of 6. Based on this information, the sample size required for this study has been calculated as 32 patients (16 patients per group) to detect a statistically significant difference in the mean difference in the horizontal femoral offset at 3 months compared to baseline (primary outcome) between the study groups using the independent t-test. Taking into account the possibility of cross-overs from the NPP arm to standard arm and drop outs we have increased the sample size estimation to 20 patients per group.
This sample size will allow us to reject the null hypothesis that this response difference is zero with probability (power) 0.90. The Type I error probability associated with this test of this null hypothesis is 0.05.
