About this study

Official title: Knee MRI and Markerless Motion Capture Analysis in Patients With Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome

The goal of this observational study is to describe the radiographic and kinematic features in patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAI). The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Is structural knee abnormalities associated with knee pain symptoms in FAI patients?
  • Does FAI patients with knee pain demonstrate unique kinematic characteristics? Participants will receive routine preoperative radiographic examinations, which include ipsilateral knee MRI for the purpose of femoral version measurement. Participants will also receive markerless motion capture analysis.

Researchers will compare preoperative radiographic and kinematic features based on knee pain status, which is routinely collected as part of clinical investigation procedures.

Read the detailed description

This observational study aims to study the association between preoperative subjective knee pain and baseline knee radiographic and kinematic characteristics. MRI of the ipsilateral knee is screened for structural abnormalities, including cartilage defects, meniscal tears and ligament injuries. Markerless motion capture data are evaluated for transverse plane kinematic features, with a primary focus on foot progression angles during normal gait.

What is being measured

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

  1. Preoperative radiographic cartilage defect of ipsilateral knee

    On the same day of admission, patients receive routine preoperative MRI examination of the hip and ipsilateral knee for femoral version measurement. Radiographs of ipsilateral knee MRI are evaluated for the presence of structural knee abnormality. Radiographic signs suggesting cartilage defect of the patella, femur and the tibial plateau are collected.

    Measured: Knee MRI radiographs are evaluated at baseline.

  2. Preoperative radiographic meniscal tear of ipsilateral knee

    On the same day of admission, patients receive routine preoperative MRI examination of the hip and ipsilateral knee for femoral version measurement. Radiographs of ipsilateral knee MRI are evaluated for the presence of structural knee abnormality. Radiographic signs suggesting lateral or medial meniscal tears are collected.

    Measured: Knee MRI radiographs are evaluated at baseline.

  3. Preoperative radiographic ligament ruptures of ipsilateral knee

    On the same day of admission, patients receive routine preoperative MRI examination of the hip and ipsilateral knee for femoral version measurement. Radiographs of ipsilateral knee MRI are evaluated for the presence of structural knee abnormality. Radiographic signs suggesting ACL tears, PCL tears or collateral ligament ruptures are collected.

    Measured: Knee MRI radiographs are evaluated at baseline.

  4. Foot progression angle during normal gait

    The next day after admission, patients undergo markerless motion capture evaluation after informed consents are obtained. Movements for motion capture include normal gait, stepping in place, single-leg stance, double-leg squat and forward lunge. Each movement is repeated 2 times. The entire data collection process for each patient takes approximately 120 seconds. Foot progression angle during gait are assessed with MATLAB in a retrospective fashion after completion of patient recruitment.

    Measured: Motion capture data are assessed at baseline.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Femoro Acetabular Impingement, run by Peking University Third Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 May 2023. 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 China. 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?

Preoperative radiographic cartilage defect of ipsilateral knee (time frame: Knee MRI radiographs are evaluated at baseline.). The study lists 4 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 19 May 2023.
