What is being measured

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

  1. Osteoarthritis Outcome Score

    The Patient self-assessed Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Scores for Knee (KOOS) and hip (HOOS) are joint-specific instruments:

    The KOOS evaluates both short-term and long-term consequences of knee injury. It holds 42 items in 5 separately scored subscales; Pain, other Symptoms, Function in daily living (ADL), Function in Sport and Recreation (Sport/Rec), and knee-related Quality of Life (QOL).

    The HOOS evaluates both short-term and long-term consequences of hip injury. It holds 5 separate patient-relevant dimensions: Pain (P), Symptoms (S), Activity limitations daily living (ADL), Function in sport and recreation (SP) and hip related quality of life (QOL).

    Both scores are percentage scores from 0 to 100, 0 representing extreme problems and 100 representing no problems.

    Measured: 12 weeks after surgery

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Patient satisfaction

    Based on a single question patients are asked to grade their level of satisfaction with the methodology and rehabilitation procedure. Patients can choose between "very dissatisfied", "dissatisfied", "satisfied" or "very satisfied". The grades may be summarized as "satisfied" vs. "dissatisfied".

    Measured: 12 weeks after surgery

  2. Patient User Experience

    A measurement just for the patients of the study group. The user feedback is collected at the endpoint

    Measured: at final follow-up approx. 7 months after surgery

  3. Patient compliance

    A measurement just for the patients of the study group. Data collection (Counting) how often patients use BPMpathway before and after operation to determine compliance with specification of using BPMpathway three times per day every day through data analytics

    Measured: at final follow-up approx. 7 months after surgery

  4. Economical [time and costs]

    Comparing conventional rehabilitation methods and tele-rehabilitation under cost aspects enlarged by quality aspects such as acceptance and satisfaction degree of the patient

    Measured: 12 weeks after surgery

  5. Course of Active Range of Motion

    Study Group: Measured with BPMpathway sensor and app 3 times per day for the entire duration and measures with manual goniometer during all clinical visits (in 5° steps) Control Group: Measured with manual goniometer during all clinical visits (in 5°steps)

    Measured: repeatedly from pre-op consultation until final follow-up approx. 7 months after surgery

  6. Development of Pain

    Study Group: Pain measured within BPMpathway app 3 times per day for the entire duration by Wong Baker Pain Score until post-operative follow-up meeting and during all clinical visits Control Group: Pain measured with Wong Baker Pain Scale during all clinical visits

    The Wong-Baker proves to be an inexpensive, yet easy to use, pain scale. The scale consists of six faces that range from no pain at all to the worst pain imaginable. The emotional faces range from smiling to grimacing.

    Measured: repeatedly through study completion, an average of 7 months postoperatively.

  7. Fatigue

    Study Group and Control Group: Measures with Fatigue Severity Scale. The Fatigue Severity Scale is a 9-item scale which measures the severity of fatigue and its effect on a person's activities and lifestyle in patients with a variety of disorders. It was originally devised for people with Multiple Sclerosis or systemic lupus erythematosus.

    The items are scored on a 7-point scale with 1=strongly disagree and 7=strongly agree; the minimum score is 9 and the maximum score is 63. The higher the score the greater the fatigue severity.

    Measured: at pre-operative consultation, post-operative consultation (12 weeks) and 6 months after surgery

  8. Radiographic Analysis

    Unless limited by patient or equipment constraints, all follow-up imaging exams will be obtained. Imaging will be used to evaluate the implant status as well as device condition and potential presence of device-related Adverse Events including fracture, wear, loosening or radiolucencies. X-rays are taken according to the radiographic protocol of the hospital and the set routine

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 7 months postoperatively

  9. Number of (Serious) Adverse Events

    During the course of the study, any upcoming intra- or postoperative (serious) adverse device events or effects related or not related to the product under investigation, will be documented in the dedicated Case Report Forms. The total number of AEs will be summarized and further evaluated by the sponsor and reported according to local legislation and necessity. Recorded complications will be categorized and analyzed in order to assess the safety of the investigational product

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 7 months postoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Arthroplasty, Replacement, Hip and Arthroplasty, Replacement, Knee, run by Aesculap AG at 2 sites in Germany.

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 7 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (time frame: 12 weeks after surgery). 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 25 Aug 2023.
