About this study

Official title: Full Repairing Versus Partial Repairing of Soft Tissue Surrounding the Hip Joint in Hip Arthroplasty for Femoral Neck Fractures

A prospective cohort study to compare full repairing and partial repairing of soft tissue surrounding the hip joint in anteriorolateral approaching arthroplasty concerning hip function. Patients admitted with a femoral neck fracture operated with a hip arthroplasty through an anteriorolateral approach were screened for inclusion. Patients with altered mental status SPMSQ <7, pathological fractures, non-walkers were excluded.

Read the detailed description

Those who fulfilled the inclusion criteria and non of the exclusion criteria were followed 2 months postoperatively by clinical examination. Sample size were estimated to 15 patients in each group. Primary outcome variables were trendelenburg test, abductor strength measured with dynamometry. Secondary outcome variables were WOMAC, EQ-5D, and VAS scores.

Being tested
Full Repairng of soft tissue surrounding the hip, Partial Repairng of soft tissue surrounding the hip

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Trendelenburg Test

    30 seconds standing on the operated leg

    Measured: At 4 week postoperatively

  2. Abductor strength

    Dynamometry

    Measured: At 4 week postoperatively

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. WOMAC

    An established hip score

    Measured: At 2, 4, 6 weeks and 12 months postoperatively

  2. Quality of life (EQ-5D)

    EQ-5D

    Measured: At 2, 4, 6 weeks and 12 months postoperatively

  3. Pain (Visual analouge scale)

    Visual analouge scale (VAS): At rest and during activity

    Measured: At 2, 4, 6 weeks and 12 months postoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Femoral Neck Fracture, run by First Hospitals affiliated to the China PLA General Hospital.

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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Sep 2016. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Trendelenburg Test (time frame: At 4 week postoperatively). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 13 Sep 2016.
