Trial summary

Purpose to compare the orbital fracture size measured by orbital CT scan and compare it to the actual orbital fracture size intraoperatively in patients who needed surgical intervention to correct the fracture. Hypothesis: there is difference between the CT measure fracture size and the actual intraoperative size. Read more about this study

What is being measured

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

  1. Patients with orbital fractures that require surgical repair will have their fracture"s" size measured intraoperatively by a ruler and/or a caliper in millimeters and compare it to the size measured by the CT scan.

    Patients with orbital fractures that need to be operated. Their intraoperative fracture size will be measured by the orbital surgeon by a ruler or/and a caliper in millimeters. Size on CT scan is determined by counting the number of slides that show the fracture (for anteropsterior fracture we measure the number of coronal sections that show the fracture multiply X1-each section is 1millimeter thickness, and so on for mediolateral fractures we measure saggital sections number and for superoinferior fractures the axial sections that show the fracture.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing operative fracture size vs CT fracture size and orbital fracture intraoperative measurement in people with Orbital Fractures, run by HaEmek Medical Center, Israel at 2 sites in Israel.

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 2 inclusion and 4 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 8 Sep 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Israel. 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 Daniel Briscoe, MD (972504439421, daniel_br@clalit.org.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Patients with orbital fractures that require surgical repair will have their fracture"s" size measured intraoperatively by a ruler and/or a caliper in millimeters and compare it to the size measured by the CT scan. (time frame: 2 years). 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 8 Sep 2016.
