Trial summary

Aim of this study is to proof the efficacy of in Jena established prophylaxis of new bone formation aside the skeleton with irradiation and compare it with the common literature. Furthermore we want to compare irradiation treatment with the alternative prophylaxis with analgetics from the NSAID type. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparative Analysis of Radiotherapeutic and Medical Procedures for the Prophylaxis of Heterotopic Ossifications in the Context of Total Hip Arthroplasty

Aim of this study is to proof the efficacy of in Jena established prophylaxis of new bone formation aside the skeleton with irradiation and compare it with the common literature. Furthermore we want to compare irradiation treatment with the alternative prophylaxis with analgetics from the NSAID type.

Read the detailed description

Aim of this retrospective analysis is to compare the incidence of heterotopic ossification one year after total hip arthroplasty with the at our location established concept of irradiation 24h preoperative and incidence in common literature. Furthermore the comparison between irradiated patients and patients treated with NSAIDs.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heterotopic Ossification and Hip Arthropathy, run by University of Jena at 1 site 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 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed 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?

Presence of heterotopic ossification (HO) (time frame: at least 365 days postoperative). 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 9 Feb 2024.
