About this study

Official title: Radiostereometric Analysis of Acetabular Wear and Periprosthetic Bone Mineral Density Changes in Cemented and Uncemented Hemiarthroplasties for Femoral Neck Fractures

Substudy and continuation of HEMI-SAB-UUS (NCT00491673)

Study on radiostereometric measurements of acetabular wear in bipolar hemiarthroplasties and measurements of periprosthetic bone mineral density in cemented and uncemented hemiarthroplasties in patients with femoral neck fractures.

Null hypothesis: No difference in acetabular wear or in bone mineral density changes between cemented and uncemented hemiarthroplasties

Read the detailed description

Patients are randomised to treatment with cemented or uncemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty. 1mm tantalum markers are inserted in the pelvis during surgery. RSA X-rays and DEXA measurements conducted postoperatively, after 3 and 12 months. Follow-up visits and clinical examination at 3 and 12 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cemented primary bipolar hemiarthroplasty of the hip and Uncemented primary bipolar hemiarthroplasty of the hip in people with Femoral Neck Fractures and Bone Density, run by Ullevaal University Hospital at 1 site in Norway.

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 3 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 24 Jun 2009. 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 Norway. 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?

Acetabular wear in mm (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 2 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 24 Jun 2009.
