About this study

Official title: Is Standard 3-degree of External Rotation for Posterior Femoral Cut Relevant for Turkish Population: An Anthropometric MRI Study

The aim of this study is to evaluate the posterior condylar angle of the distal femur in Turkish population and its concordance with the current standard prosthesis designs used in total knee arthroplasty and to evaluate anthropometric features of the distal femur in the Turkish population.

Read the detailed description

The investigators would like to measure condylar twist angles(CTA), posterior condylar angles(PCA), femoral mediolateral lengths (fML), medial femoral anteroposterior lengths(fMAP), lateral femoral anteroposterior lengths (fLAP), distances between trochlear groove and fMAP(DBTG-fMAP), distances between trochlear groove and fLAP(DBTG-fLAP), medial and lateral posterior condylar cartilage thicknesses(MPCCT/LPCCT) on the Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) of 240 knees of 120 Turkish subjects.

What is being measured

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

  1. condylar twist angle and posterior condylar angle

    The condylar twist angle (CTA) is an angle between anatomical transepicondylar axis (TEA),which lying from medial epicondyle to lateral epicondyle of the distal femur, and posterior condylar axis (PCAx). The posterior condylar angle (PCA) is an angle between surgical TEA, which lying from medial epicondylar sulcus to lateral epicondyle, and PCAx[1].

    Measured: about 5 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. mediolateral lenght of the distal femur (fML)

    The widest mediolateral lenght of the distal femur (fML) in the axial plane which equal to transepicondylar axis

    Measured: about 5 days

  2. medial anteroposterior lengt (fMAP) and lateral anteroposterior lengt (fLAP)

    the longest anteropesterior distances of the medial and lateral condyles over the cartilage tissue od the distal femur on the axial images[2].

    Measured: about 5 days

  3. Distance between trochlear groove and fMAP (DBTG-fMAP) and distance between trochlear groove and lateral fAP(DBTG- fLAP)

    MRI sections obtained 3 cm above the tibiofemoral joint will use for evaluation of deepest point of the trochlear groove.The distance between trochlear groove to fMAP and fLAP

    Measured: about 5 days

  4. Medial and lateral posterior condylar cartilage thicknesses (MPCCT/LPCCT)

    MPCCT/LPCCT were measured at the deepest point in the axial plan.

    Measured: about 5 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Healthy, run by Bezmialem Vakif University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 1 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 22 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

condylar twist angle and posterior condylar angle (time frame: about 5 days). 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 NCT04355182, which also lists 2 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 22 Apr 2020.
