About this study

This study compares the posterior approach to the anterolateral approach using the ReCap® Total Hip Resurfacing System.

Read the detailed description

Theoretical considerations of RECAP procedures through anterolateral trochanteric osteotomy:

  • Less bone resection, less complicated revision surgery.
  • Reduced stress shielding of the femur.
  • Lower incidence of hip dislocations.
  • Walking function improved by change in mobilisation regime and operative technique.
  • Risk of femoral neck fracture is reduced by preoperative measurement of bone density.
  • Risk of avascular necrosis of the femoral head is reduced with the anterolateral approach preserving femoral head blood supply and preventing later failure of the implant.
Being tested
Anterolateral approach, Posterior approach, ReCap Total Hip Resurfacing
Medical subject headings
Arthritis, Osteonecrosis

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Anterolateral approachProcedure or surgery

    The anterolateral approach is performed with the patient positioned on the side. The blood supply to the femoral neck from the medial circumflex artery is regarded preserved by this surgical method.

  • Posterior approachProcedure or surgery

    The posterior approach is performed with the patient positioned on the side. The medial circumflex artery is cut at the lower border of the short external rotators risking a compromised blood supply to the femoral head.

  • ReCap Total Hip ResurfacingDevice

    This arm utilizes the anterolateral approach using the ReCap® Total Hip Resurfacing System.

  • ReCap Total Hip ResurfacingDevice

    This arm utilizes the posterior approach using the ReCap® Total Hip Resurfacing System.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Anterolateral approach, Posterior approach and ReCap Total Hip Resurfacing in people with Arthritis and Avascular Necrosis, run by Zimmer Biomet at 1 site in Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jan 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

RSA (time frame: 1 week, 3 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Jan 2018.
