About this study

The primary purpose of this study is to measure the postoperative changes in bone mineral density, comparing the Taperloc Complete Reduced Distal Microplasty stem and the standard length Taperloc Complete Reduced Distal stem.

Read the detailed description

The Taperloc Microplasty cementless stem is designed to transmit load to the proximal femur, thereby preserving bone density, and preventing long term instability and loosening secondary to proximal bone resorption. The primary aim of this study is therefore to compare the postoperative changes in bone density with the Taperloc Microplasty stem, using the standard length Taperloc stem as a control.

In addition, the Taperloc stem has historically had a neck angle of 138°. There have been criticisms that this neck angle is too high for the typical Korean population. The newer Taperloc Complete system (both Microplasty and standard length) has a neck angle of 133°. A secondary aim is Occurrence ratio of thigh pain difference between Microplasty and standard stem in Korean Population

What participants receive

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

  • Taperloc Complete MicroplastyDevice

    Taperloc Complete Microplsty cementless stem is designed to transmit load to the proximal femur, thereby preserving bone density, and preventing long term instability and loosening secondary to proximal bone resorption.

  • Taperloc Complete StandardDevice

    Taperloc Complete Standard is designed after the philosophy of a flat tapered wedge. It has evolved to incorporate the Reduced Distal and Microplasty stems to better address all patient anatomies, and facilitate multiple surgical techniques.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Taperloc Complete Microplasty and Taperloc Complete Standard in people with Osteoarthritis and Avascular Necrosis, run by Zimmer Biomet at 2 sites in South Korea.

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 12 inclusion and 5 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 9 Jan 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in South Korea. 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?

Bone Mineral Density (time frame: 1 year). 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 9 Jan 2020.
