About this study

Official title: Accuracy of Navigation in Placement of Sacroiliac Screw. Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial

The purpose of this study is to compare the precision of computer-assisted navigation for hip screw implantation to conventional fixation without navigation.

Read the detailed description

Standard treatment for sacroiliac dislocations and sacroiliac fractures is placement of two screws through the iliosacral joint into the sacral ala or the body of the S1 vertebra. Correct positioning is technically demanding. Screw displacement may reduce the strength of fixation and lead to neurological complications.

Secondary objectives of the study are to compare the fluoroscopy time, complications and surgery duration between the treatments.

What participants receive

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

  • NavigatedProcedure or surgery

    Also called BrainLab Vector Vision®Trauma Navigation Software

    Subjects receive receive computer assisted placement of the sacroiliac screws. The computer assisted placement will be performed by using the BrainLab Vector Vision®Trauma Navigation Software. Two approaches will be used, the 2D navigation and 3D navigation.

  • ConventionalProcedure or surgery

    Subjects receive standard fluoroscopic placement of the sacroiliac screw.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Navigated and Conventional in people with Hip Fracture, run by AO Clinical Investigation and Publishing Documentation at 9 sites in 3 countries.

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 4 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 7 Jan 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in Germany, United States, United Arab Emirates. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Proportion of misplaced sacroiliac screws as evaluated by postop CT-scanning. (time frame: 2 days). 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 7 Jan 2010.
