About this study

Official title: Radiological Riskfactors for Dislocation of Hip Hemiarthroplasty Through a Posterolateral Approach as Treatment for Femoral Neck Fracture

Between January 1 2006 and December 31 2013, at our department 324 patients underwent hemiarthroplasty (HA) for displaced femoral-neck fracture with a bipolar prosthesis (Variokopf, Link®, Germany) by the use of the posteriolateral approach. Patients with pathological fractures and HA performed with direct lateral approach were excluded. A retrospective cohort study were conducted. Patients with prosthetic dislocation formed one group and patients without dislocation formed the control group.

As standard, post surgery radiographs (anteroposterior and lateral) were taken. After these were performed patient started weight bearing as soon as possible. Clinical data regarding patient demographics, details of the surgical procedure and the medical comorbidities were collected by the use of patient and operative records. Radiological analysis with position evaluation was performed using the post surgery radiographs by measuring Wiberg angle, inequality of leg length and femoral offset of the prostheses and compared with non-operated hip joint using the post surgery x-ray images.

Our hypothesis were that patients with single- or recurrent dislocations had shortened postoperative leg length, decreased femoral offsed and a Wiberg angle less than 25 degrees.

What is being measured

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

  1. Femoral offset

    The femoral offset is measured on the postoperative X-ray. The result are compared between the groups of dislocated and non-dislocated patients.

    Measured: 6 months up to 7 years

  2. Leg length difference

    Leg length difference is measured on the postoperative X-ray. The result are compared between the groups of dislocated and non-dislocated patients.

    Measured: 6 months to 7 years

  3. Wiberg angle

    Wiberg angle is measured on the postoperative X-ray. The result are compared between the groups of dislocated and non-dislocated patients.

    Measured: 6 months to 7 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. 1 year mortality

    Measured: one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Dislocation and Femoral Neck Fracture, run by Sundsvall Hospital at 1 site in Sweden.

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 1 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 29 Oct 2015. 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 Sweden. 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?

Femoral offset (time frame: 6 months up to 7 years). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02131987, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 29 Oct 2015.
