Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the functional effects of arthroscopic iliopsoas release. To complete this aim, we will recruit patients who have undergone arthroscopic iliopsoas release by Dr. Aoki. Each subjects contralateral nonoperative hip will serve as their own control.

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 18 to 90 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients undergoing arthroscopic surgery by Dr. Aoki, divided into two groups: Those undergoing arthroscopic psoas release, and those undergoing arthroscopic surgery without psoas release,

Who may be able to join

  • All subjects will be greater than 18 years of age.
  • We will recruit 18 subjects who have undergone arthroscopic iliopsoas release by Dr. Aoki.
  • We will recruit 18 additional subjects that had hip arthroscopy with Dr. Aoki without iliopsoas release to serve as a control group.

Who cannot join

  • As the nonoperative contralateral hip will serve as a control to the operative hip, we will exclude patients for this study who have undergone bilateral procedures.
  • We will exclude any patients who are not comfortable with the MRI scan, stationary bike or strength testing.

About this study

The purpose of this study is to investigate the functional effects of arthroscopic iliopsoas release. To complete this aim, we will recruit patients who have undergone arthroscopic iliopsoas release by Dr. Aoki. Each subjects contralateral nonoperative hip will serve as their own control. To delineate the effects of arthroscopic surgery alone from those resulting from iliopsoas release in addition to arthroscopic surgery, we will recruit a second control group consisting of patients who have undergone arthroscopic surgery by Dr. Aoki without iliopsoas release.

For both hips of each subject, we will:

  • Quantify the muscle volume of the iliopsoas muscle with MRI.
  • Quantify hip flexion strength with isokinetic dynamometry.
  • Quantify patient function and satisfaction with functional outcome surveys.

This data will allow us to test the following hypotheses:

  • Compared to the non-operative hip, hips undergoing arthroscopic iliopsoas release have decreased iliopsoas muscle volume and hip flexion strength.
  • Compared to hips undergoing arthroscopic surgery without iliopsoas release, hips undergoing arthroscopic iliopsoas release have decreased iliopsoas muscle volume and hip flexion strength.
  • Patient function and satisfaction positively correlates to muscle bulk and strength.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Arthroscopic Iliopsoas Release, run by University of Utah.

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 2 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 15 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Muscle Volume (time frame: 1 yr post op). 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 15 Aug 2016.
