About this study

Assessment of surgical correction of patello-femoral instability by EOS 3D kinematics

Read the detailed description

Patella instability induces repetitive patella dislocation, which impairs day-to-day life. Surgery is commonly used to stabilise the patella during knee flexion. However proofs of efficacy of surgery on patello-femoral kinematics have not yet been found. Analysis of the patello-femoral kinematics is crucial to understand, assess et correct the patella instability. The investigators have developed, validated and published a 3D analysis method from biplanar X-rays (EOS 3D imaging). Our aim in this study is to assess the correction of the patello-femoral kinematics after surgery using the EOS 3D imaging method.

What participants receive

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

  • EOS 3D imaging protocol pre- and post-surgeryProcedure or surgery

    Patients will undergo a EOS 3D Imaging protocol before and 6 months after undergoing patello-femoral surgery. This protocol is already used routinely in the hospital before every patello-femoral surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of patella lateral tilt before and after surgery

    Efficacy of corrective surgery on patello-femoral instability will be assessed by measuring the patella lateral tilt (Ry) with the knee bending at 0, 20 and 45 degrees, before and after surgery. This measurement will be done using the EOS 3D Imaging technique.

    Measured: During the presurgery appointment and up to 6 months after surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Comparison of patella secondary shifts before and after surgery

    Anterior (Tx), distal (Ty) and lateral (Tz) patella shifts, with the knee bending at 0, 20 and 45 degrees will be measured, before and after surgery. This measurement will be done using the EOS 3D Imaging technique.

    Measured: During the presurgery appointment and up to 6 months after surgery

  2. Comparison of patella secondary rotations before and after surgery

    External (Rx) and flexion (Rz) rotation of the patella, with the knee bending at 0, 20 and 45 degrees will be measured, before and after surgery. This measurement will be done using the EOS 3D Imaging technique.

    Measured: During the presurgery appointment and up to 6 months after surgery

  3. Assessment of functional and life quality changes pre- and post-surgery

    The Kujala score and 12-Item Short Form Survey (SF12) life quality questionnaire will be answered by the participants before and after the surgery.

    Measured: During the presurgery appointment and up to 6 months after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing EOS 3D imaging protocol pre- and post-surgery in people with Patellofemoral Dislocation, run by University Hospital, Montpellier at 1 site in France.

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 5 inclusion and 4 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 14 Dec 2022. 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 France. 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?

Comparison of patella lateral tilt before and after surgery (time frame: During the presurgery appointment and up to 6 months after surgery). 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 NCT04143438, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Dec 2022.
