United Orthopedic Corporation (UOC) commenced 200-patient enrollment in a U.S. follow-up study of the U-Motion II+ Acetabular System and UTF Reduced Stem in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients.
The prospective, single arm, 5-site, post-approval study is investigating short- and long-term clinical performance of the devices, which are designed to improve hip flexion, reduce the risk of joint dislocation and allow for minimal bone removal during THA. The study is slated to require ~7 years from 1st enrollment through final report.
