LINEAGE® Ceramic-on-Ceramic Total Hip Arthroplasty IDE Study

In April 1997, an FDA Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) study was begun to determine the effectiveness of Wright's LINEAGE® ceramic-on-ceramic hip system. By November 2003, nearly 1700 implants were in place, making it the largest regulated study ever on a total hip replacement device.

Data collected over the last six years shows that the ceramic implant is more durable and has fewer complications than traditional metal and polyethylene implants. Because of such outstanding performance results, the study concludes that the LINEAGE® system is both safe and effective.
