About this study

Official title: Randomised Controlled Double-blind Monocenter Therapy Study Validating the Benefit From Information Provided by Image Free Navigation System on the Precision of the Placement of Acetabular Component in Patients Undergoing Primary THA

This study was initiated to investigate the impact of the computer based image free navigation on the precision of the cup implantation. The implantation of the acetabular component (cup) is known to be a critical step in hip endoprosthetics. The cup position influences significantly the function, the absence of pain and the longevity of the artificial hip joint. The image free navigation system OrthoPilot is used to control the positioning of the cup during surgery.

What participants receive

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

  • Manual InterventionProcedure or surgery

    Also called Conventional THA

    Implantation of acetabular component without the use of the navigation system information

  • Navigated InterventionProcedure or surgery

    Also called Computer assisted orthopedic surgery

    Navigated implantation of acetabular component using OrthoPilot image free navigation system

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of improvement of the implantation accuracy of acetabular component by navigation compared to manual implantation

    The ratio of implantations within the intraoperatively adjusted safe zone of Lewinnek (target anteversion +/-10°, target inclination +/-10°), proved by a CT-scan control measurement.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Comparison of implantation precision, postoperative function and complication rates with vs. without gaining information from navigation system.

    The ratio of implantations within the intraoperatively determined safe zone of 5° (target anteversion +/-5°, target inclination +/- 5°) Geometric deviation from the target implantation position Range of Motion Harris hip score 3 months postoperative Complication rate until 3 months Correlation of manual and ultrasound registration of the anterior pelvic plane (independent from therapy group) Proposal and validation of a combined Hip Alignment Score for navigated implantation

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Manual Intervention and Navigated Intervention in people with Osteoarthritis, Hip and Arthritis, Rheumatoid, run by Aesculap AG at 1 site in Germany.

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 5 inclusion and 7 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 3 Sep 2014. 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 Germany. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Evaluation of improvement of the implantation accuracy of acetabular component by navigation compared to manual implantation (time frame: 3 months). 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 3 Sep 2014.
