What participants receive

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

  • HipJack Balloon SpacerDevice

    Use of the HipJack Kit to maintain distraction of the joint during hip arthroscopy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Ability to access the central compartment of the hip and maintain intra-articular hip joint distraction with the HipJack Balloon Spacer during hip arthroscopy.

    Measured: Treatment (Day 0)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Reduction in external traction time.

    Measured: Treatment (Day 0)

  2. Investigator-related adequacy of central compartment visualization with use of the investigational device.

    Measured: Treatment (Day 0)

  3. Investigator-rated adequacy of maneuverability of arthroscopy tools with the investigational device inflated in the central compartment.

    Measured: Treatment (Day 0)

  4. The occurrence of serious adverse events by 6-week follow-up rated by the investigator to be probably or definitely related to the investigational device.

    Measured: 6 weeks
