Trial summary

Hemiarthroplasty is a well established treatment of Femoral Neck Fractures in the Elderly. During the last decade the use of Minimal Invasive Surgical( MIS) approaches have been increasing. Our hypothesis is that Patients with a Femoral Neck Fracture may benefit from a MIS approach. Read more about this study

About this study

Hemiarthroplasty is a well established treatment of Femoral Neck Fractures in the Elderly. During the last decade the use of Minimal Invasive Surgical( MIS) approaches have been increasing. Our hypothesis is that Patients with a Femoral Neck Fracture may benefit from a MIS approach.

Read the detailed description

The study's main objective: The purpose of the study is to test the following hypothesis. Patients 70 to 90 years with a displaced femoral neck fracture, operated with a hemiarthroplasty through an anterolateral approach, have less pain and better patient satisfaction as measured by PROMs than patients operated through the lateral approach.

The study's subsidiary objectives. We aim to shed light on the following subsidiary hypotheses.

  1. A hemiarthroplasty inserted through an anterolateral approach gives less bone resorption, as measured by DEXA around the stem, than a hemiarthroplasty inserted via a direct lateral approach.
  2. A hemiarthroplasty inserted through an anterolateral approach causes lesser degree of muscle damage, as measured by CK, than a direct lateral approach

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing hemiarthroplasty in people with Femoral Neck Fracture, run by Sorlandet Hospital HF at 1 site in Norway.

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 0 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 10 Nov 2022. 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 Norway. 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?

Visual Analogue Scale Pain and Patient Satisfaction (time frame: Pre and postoperative, 3 and 12 Months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02028468, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 10 Nov 2022.
