About this study

The purpose of this study is to examine the blood flow in acetabulum after periacetabular osteotomy by Positron Emission Tomography (PET).

Read the detailed description

As a consequence of periacetabular osteotomy the blood flow in acetabulum is decreased. After periacetabular osteotomy has been performed there is fine contact between the osteotomised acetabulum and the rest of the pelvis and the potential for healing is good. However, it has not been investigated how much the blood flow in acetabulum is changed after surgery. The blood flow is considered to be vital for how the pelvis heals after surgery. Most likely, the blood flow is important in relation to which degree osteoarthritis can be prevented after periacetabular osteotomy.

It is possible to estimate the blood flow by Positron Emission Tomography of the dysplastic hip joint pre- and postoperatively. In this study the blood flow and fluoride uptake is quantified by Positron emission tomography based on measurements of O-15 water and F-18 fluoride.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Periacetabular osteotomy in people with Osteoarthritis, run by University of Aarhus at 1 site in Denmark.

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 6 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 20 Nov 2015. 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 Denmark. 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?

changes in blood flow (time frame: within the first three weeks after operation). 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 20 Nov 2015.
