Trial summary

The primary aim of the study is to compare the results of an established, successful procedure, which is total hip arthroplasty through a mini-posterior approach to a less studied - increasingly popular procedure, which is total hip replacement through the direct anterior approach utilizing the orthopedic table.

Official title: A Randomized Clinical Trial of Direct Anterior Approach and Mini-Posterior Approach Total Hip Arthroplasty

The primary aim of the study is to compare the results of an established, successful procedure, which is total hip arthroplasty through a mini-posterior approach to a less studied - increasingly popular procedure, which is total hip replacement through the direct anterior approach utilizing the orthopedic table.

Being tested
Direct Anterior Approach, Mini-Posterior Approach

Study groups in NCT01613508
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Direct Anterior ApproachActive comparatorAn oblique incision is made over the anterior margin of the tensor muscle. The fascia of the tensor muscle is identified and incised. The muscle is swept digitally laterally and a retractor is placed over the superior aspect of the femoral neck. The hip capsule is then incised and retracted.
Receives: Procedure: Direct Anterior Approach
Mini-Posterior ApproachActive comparatorThe surgical approach involved a 7 to 9.5 cm incision along the posterior aspect of the femur starting at the tip of the greater trochanter and proceeding distally. The fascia of the gluteus maximus was split, and blunt dissection revealed the underlying abductor and external rotator musculature. The external rotators an the hip capsule were incised and preserved as one layer, with an attempt being made to preserve the insertion of the quadratus femoris on the femur. The hip was dislocated posteriorly and the femoral neck was cut in accordance with the preoperative plan.
Receives: Procedure: Mini-Posterior Approach

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Direct Anterior Approach and Mini-Posterior Approach in people with Total Hip Replacement, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

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

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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?

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?

Activity monitors will be worn (time frame: Baseline to 1 year). 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 5 Dec 2018.
