About this study

Official title: Periacetabular Osteotomy. A Prospective Study With Reference to Cartilage, Migration and Bone Density

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of performing a periacetabular osteotomy on patients with hip dysplasia.

Read the detailed description

The cause of osteoarthritis in hip dysplasia is thought to be attributable to increased joint contact pressures secondary to decreased acetabular coverage of the femoral head and/or incongruity of the articular surfaces. The investigators' hypothesis is that when periacetabular osteotomy is performed and contact pressure on cartilage reduced, additional joint degeneration will be slowed or prevented unless irreparable damage to the cartilage has happened at the time periacetabular osteotomy is performed. Hence, the purposes of this study are:

  • to develop an unbiased and precise method for measurement of the thickness of the articular cartilage in the hip joint because such a method can be used to evaluate the effect of periacetabular osteotomy and also to give a more precise indication/contraindication for surgery;
  • to evaluate the migration of the acetabulum postoperatively and 6 months after surgery by use of RSA to examine the stability of the osteotomy; and
  • to examine bone mineral density in acetabulum 1 and 2 years after surgery in order to find out whether the change in load distribution will affect bone density of the acetabulum over time in a way that in the area where more load is applied, bone density will increase, and in areas with less load, bone density will decrease;
  • to examine the labrum in the hip joint.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 1 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 6 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 12 Feb 2008. 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?

migration of acetabulum (time frame: six months). 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 12 Feb 2008.
