Trial summary

Bone tumor near the articular cartilage is hard to remove sufficiently without damaging adjacent joint. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of navigation-assisted surgery for saving joint in bone tumor resection or curettage. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • First condition is that the benign tumor is located deeply in bones of extremities, or pelvis, so we anticipate the difficulty to find the tumor and to assess the adequacy of resection without the aid of computer-assisted navigation during operation.
  • Second condition is when the violation of joint or growth plate is expected during removal of tumor due to its close proximity to joint or growth plate.
  • In case of malignant bone tumor, the sufficient preservation of joint anatomy should be required even with resection margin of 1.5 cm away from reactive zone of tumor. The sufficient preservation of joint is defined when at least 1 cm subchondral bone is remained after tumor resection, because 1 cm subchondral bone is required for fixation with allograft in subsequent reconstruction. The sufficient preservation of joint is also defined when articular surface is removed, but more than 50% of articular surface has to be saved.

Who cannot join

  • Patients who denied to perform navigation surgery after explanation of navigation surgery protocol
  • Medically high-risk patients who could not withstand long surgical time for joint reconstruction
  • Patients whose feasibility of joint preservation was not fulfill the above inclusion criteria at initial presentation, although the tumor size was decreased enough to fulfill the inclusion criteria in MRI after completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

About this study

Bone tumor near the articular cartilage is hard to remove sufficiently without damaging adjacent joint. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of navigation-assisted surgery for saving joint in bone tumor resection or curettage. In this study, the investigators hypothesized that computer-assisted surgery is feasible method to get both enough margin and joint salvage. Each of them is important intermediate factor for either oncologic outcome or functional outcome respectively. The investigators designed this study to find what proportion of patients who underwent computer-assisted resection could get enough margins using some criteria obtained by overlapping preoperative and postoperative images. The investigators also evaluated whether computer-assisted surgery can be feasible for joint saving using some criteria including functional outcome.

What participants receive

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

  • Navigation surgeryProcedure or surgery

    In en bloc resection, the osteotomy sites were determined by navigation guidance. For curettage, we monitored curette in real-time with navigation.

  • Navigation systemProcedure or surgery

    In en bloc resection, the osteotomy sites were determined by navigation guidance. For curettage, we monitored curette in real-time with navigation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Resection margin and safety

    Pre-operative and post-operative CT or MRI images were fused using image fusion application of navigation software (Striker, Mahwah, NJ)in order to evaluate the resection margin.

    Measured: Day 1 - During operation

  2. Resection margin and safety

    Pre-operative and post-operative CT or MRI images were fused using image fusion application of navigation software (Striker, Mahwah, NJ)in order to evaluate the resection margin.

    Measured: 3 months - postoperative

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Oncological outcome and functional score

    1. Oncological outcome after 6 month or 12 month from surgery like patient survival or tumor recurrence (tumor recurrence was diagnosed with PET CT or MRI according to the nature of original tumor), 2) functional scores were assessed by evaluation systems of the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS)and Toronto Extremity Salvage Score (TESS).

    Measured: Postoperative 6 month and 12month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Navigation surgery and Navigation system in people with Bone Tumors, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 11 Aug 2010. 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 South Korea. 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?

Contact Sung Wook Seo (sungwook.seo@samsung.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Resection margin and safety (time frame: Day 1 - During operation). 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 11 Aug 2010; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 28 Oct 2026.
