About this study

Official title: The Influence of Global Femoral-offset Changes After Total Hip Arthroplasty on Function, Quality of Life and Abductor Muscle Strength: a Prospective Cohort Study

The femoral-offset (FO) is one of the important perioperative parameters in THA. A prospective cohort study was conducted between September 2010 and December 2013. All patients with unilateral primary osteoarthritis (OA) treated with THA were considered for inclusion. Patients with secondary OA, previous spinal, pelvic, or lower limb injuries or fractures were excluded. Global FO was measured in each patient within 3 months before the THA and at the second postoperative day using a standardized protocol. According to the postoperative measurement, patients were divided into three groups: 1) the decreased FO group, where the FO of operated side was reduced more than 5mm compared with the contralateral side, 2) the restored FO group, where the FO of operated side was within 5mm restored compared with the contralateral side, and 3) the increased FO group, where the FO of operated side was increased more than 5mm compared with the contralateral side.

Patients were followed-up at 12 - 15 months postoperatively with self-administered WOMAC and EQ-5D questionnaires in addition to a clinical assessment with palpation of the operated hip and measurement of the abductor muscle strength.

Read the detailed description

The results of total hip arthroplasty (THA) have shown great improvement during the last decades in terms of function, quality of life and prosthetic survival. Beside pain relief, surgeons aim to position the stem and cup in a correct manner to restore the biomechanical forces and range of motion of the operated hip. The femoral-offset (FO) is one of the important perioperative parameters in THA. A prospective cohort study was conducted between September 2010 and December 2013. All patients with unilateral primary osteoarthritis (OA) treated with THA were considered for inclusion. Patients with secondary OA, previous spinal, pelvic, or lower limb injuries or fractures were excluded. Global FO was measured in each patient within 3 months before the THA and at the second postoperative day using a standardized protocol. According to the postoperative measurement, patients were divided into three groups: 1) the decreased FO group, where the FO of operated side was reduced more than 5mm compared with the contralateral side, 2) the restored FO group, where the FO of operated side was within 5mm restored compared with the contralateral side, and 3) the increased FO group, where the FO of operated side was increased more than 5mm compared with the contralateral side.

Patients were followed-up at 12 - 15 months postoperatively with self-administered WOMAC and EQ-5D questionnaires in addition to a clinical assessment. Patients completed an additional questionnaire enquiring about any residual problems with the use of walking aid and residual pain around the operated hip. During the clinical assessment, palpation of the operated hip and measurement of the abductor muscle strength were undertaken.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 3 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 29 Oct 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis (WOMAC) Index (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02399670, which also lists 8 linked publications.

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 29 Oct 2015.
