About this study

Official title: The Effect of Autologous Bone Marrow Concentration on Femoral Shaft Fracture Union

This study aims to evaluate the effect of bone marrow concentration on union of femoral shaft fracture by comparing clinical and imaging outcomes between patients receiving Intramedullary nail fixation with intraoperative bone marrow concentration and those receiving Intramedullary nail fixation only.

Read the detailed description

Femoral shaft fracture is a common orthopaedic injury. Intramedullary nail is one of the standard treatments. Its primary goal is to develop an osseous bridge between adjacent motion segments to prevent motion, relieve pain, and facilitate bone union. Delayed union or nonunion is common in femoral shaft fracture. Risk factors include comminuted fracture, open fracture, smoking, diabetes and open reduction of fracture fixation. Mesenchymal stem cells are pluripotent cells that can differentiate into multiple mesenchymal tissues, including tenocytes, chondrocytes and osteoblasts, as well as being a source of multiple growth factors to establish an environment conducive to soft and hard tissue regeneration. As bone marrow concentration has high concentration of mesenchymal stem cells, some studies have shown that autologous bone marrow concentration can improve bone healing. Therefore, the goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of bone marrow concentration on union of femoral shaft fracture.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bone Marrow and Femoral Shaft Fracture, run by Pei-Yuan Lee, MD at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 9 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 14 Apr 2020. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Hsin-Chuan Chen, MD (+886975611139, henang0424@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

1-month postoperative degree of union evaluated by plain radiograph (time frame: 1-month postoperative). 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 14 Apr 2020.
