Trial summary

In 12 patients with corticalization and hypertrophic pseudarthrosis were present after dynamization, the old nail was removed and nail exchange was performed with a longer and larger diameter nail to pass the region formed in the cortex approximately 2-3cm inferior from the old nail.

About this study

Official title: Sclerotic Bone Formation (Corticalisation) on the Intramedullar Nail Tip in Hypertrophic Non-union Developing After Femoral Transverse Diaphyseal Fractures

In 12 patients with corticalization and hypertrophic pseudarthrosis were present after dynamization, the old nail was removed and nail exchange was performed with a longer and larger diameter nail to pass the region formed in the cortex approximately 2-3cm inferior from the old nail.

Read the detailed description

Corticalization is cortex-like sclerosis in the distal of the nail and it may indicate the early sign of dynamization treatment failure in hypertrophic nonunion after femoral transverse diaphyseal fractures. When corticalization is seen during follow-up after dynamization is performed because of non-union of a femoral transverse fracture, nail exchange should be performed without further delay. More rigid fixation should be applied with a longer and thicker nail crossing the area of corticalization.

What is being measured

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

  1. Provide Bone Union

    Achievement of bone union with detecting callus formation on radiography after passing the region of corticalisation with a longer and thicker nail

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Relieving pain in the nonunion area

    Detection of reduction of pain scores in the nonunion area and enabling patients to load on the extremity in the early period postoperatively

    Measured: 6 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing exchange nailing with larger, thicker nail crossing corticalization in people with Pseudoarthrosis of Bone and Implant Breakage, run by Prof. Dr. Cemil Tascıoglu Education and Research Hospital Organization.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 21 Jun 2022. 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?

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?

Provide Bone Union (time frame: 6 months). 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 21 Jun 2022.
