About this study

Arthroscopic hip surgery is performed with traction on the leg to allow the surgeon to perform the surgical procedure. A retrospective study has described neuropraxia, ankle joint pain and a skin burn after surgery (1). Moreover, it has been described that surgeons performing the procedure have a learning curve related to the number of complications described postoperatively. At the investigators' institution, hip arthroscopies have been performed since 2010 and the 3 surgeons have 4-12 years of experience. During the past years, changes have been made to secure the best possible comfort for the patient during the arthroscopic procedure. Hence, there is a rationale for investigating complications after hip arthroscopy in a setting that is less affected by the surgeon's learning curve and with the patient comfort in focus.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hip Pathology and Femoracetabular Impingement, run by University of Aarhus at 1 site in Denmark.

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 1 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jan 2024. 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 Denmark. 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 was stopped early (reason given: main outcome could not be ekstracted from database). Results are not available in the source record.

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 analog scale-pain of the knee (time frame: Three months after surgery). The study lists 4 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 NCT02495701, 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 24 Jan 2024.
