Mini Stem DEXA (Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry)

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The objective of this study is to evaluate the bone ingrowth after implantation of the study device. This study will also document any device-related surgical complications or adverse radiographic observations. Improvement in pain, function, and health economic data will be compared with improvements documented with other joint systems.

Detailed Description
-----------------
The purpose of the current investigation is to assess the bone ingrowth after implantation with a modular, short hip stem using Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA). The intended use of this product is for patients with non-inflammatory and inflammatory degenerative joint disease who require a primary total hip replacement.

Primary Outcome Measures

| DEXA Analysis of BMD at Preoperative Visit | DEXA=Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry; BMD=Bone Mineral Density; The proximal femur was divided into 7 regions relative to the length of the stem.
