Study to Assess the Stability, Efficacy and Safety of the Silent™ Hip Prosthesis in Primary Total Hip Replacement

The purpose of this study is to determine if the Silent™ hip, when used as part of an artificial hip joint, is stable and effective in treatment of patients with joint disease requiring a total hip replacement. Patients who enter the study will be evaluated at regular intervals following hip surgery using patient, clinical, standard and special x-rays (RSA) to allow the position of the Silent Hip within the bone to be accurately monitored.
