Trial summary

Current "Minimally Invasive THR" includes: (1) Minimally Invasive Two-Incision THR (MIS-2), (2) Minimally Invasive Modified Watson-Jones THR (MIS-WJ). In contrast, "mini-incision" utilizes smaller incision (< 10 cm in definition) to perform the THR which can further be divided into mini-anterolateral (Mini-AL) and… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Prospective Randomized Controlled 4-arm Study for the Evaluation of 4 Surgical Techniques in Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty

Current "Minimally Invasive THR" includes: (1) Minimally Invasive Two-Incision THR (MIS-2), (2) Minimally Invasive Modified Watson-Jones THR (MIS-WJ). In contrast, "mini-incision" utilizes smaller incision (< 10 cm in definition) to perform the THR which can further be divided into mini-anterolateral (Mini-AL) and mini-posterolateral (Mini-PL).The purpose of this study is to investigate how MIS THR can affect the results of THR by a prospective randomized clinical trial. It is hoped that some new standards could be established for the total hip replacement surgery.

Read the detailed description

The prospective randomized study will be performed in patients after obtaining patient's consent. "Envelop drawing based on random table" will decide the choice of approach. (1) Group 1: MIS-2, 30 cases (2) Group 2: MIS-WJ, 30 cases (3) Group 3: Mini-AL, 30 cases (4) Group 4: Mini-PL, 30 cases. Only the unilateral coxarthrosis will be recruited for the study. Analytical methods include (1) gait analysis (2) cybex study (3) balance test and obstacle crossing test (4) bone densitometry (5) PETS oxygen consumption and glucose utilization tests (6) inflammatory markers (7) clinical assessment (8) X-ray studies. Patients will be scheduled for specified examinations preoperatively, postoperatively and within 5 days, 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, and 36 months.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MIS-2 THA, MIS-WJ and MIS-AL THA in people with Arthroplasty, Replacement, Hip, run by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 1 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
