Trial summary

This is a prospective, randomized study comparing two different bone preparation techniques for insertion of a hydroxylapatite (HA) coated titanium cementless femoral stem. Patients who receive a unilateral total hip replacement are randomized to either conventional broaching or compaction. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Compaction Femur Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) Uni-lateral

This is a prospective, randomized study comparing two different bone preparation techniques for insertion of a hydroxylapatite (HA) coated titanium cementless femoral stem. Patients who receive a unilateral total hip replacement are randomized to either conventional broaching or compaction.

Hypothesis: Compaction results in significantly less stem migration [evaluated by radiostereometric analysis (RSA)], less peri-prosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) loss [evaluated by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)], and a higher Harris hip score after two years.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Bone preparation technique: compactionProcedure or surgery

    Also called No other names.

    The bone is pressed very hard together before implantation of femoral component.

  • Bone preparation technique: conventional techniqueProcedure or surgery

    Also called No other names.

    Bone is broached before implantation of femoral component.

What is being measured

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

  1. To examine a possible difference in density of bones around implantation of femoral component.

    A check-up by means of DEXA scanning after 1 week, 1 year, 2 years and 5 years.

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bone preparation technique: compaction and Bone preparation technique: conventional technique in people with Coxarthrosis, run by Northern Orthopaedic Division, Denmark 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 3 inclusion and 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Apr 2017. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

To examine a possible difference in density of bones around implantation of femoral component. (time frame: 5 years). 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 Apr 2017.
