About this study

Official title: Prospective, Randomized Study to Evaluate Total Hip Arthroplasty With and Without Radlink Surgical Positioning Software

This is a prospective, randomized study of total hip arthroplasty with and without the use of Radlink surgical positioning software. The investigators are interested in discovering whether the use of the Radlink software will provide more accurate acetabular cup position when compared with surgeon estimates based on visual inspection of fluoroscopic images.

Study groups in NCT02536573
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ControlNo interventionIntraoperative fluoroscopy of the hip is used to visually estimate the acetabular cup angle and make any necessary adjustments.
Radlink Surgical Positioning SystemExperimentalFluoroscopic image of the hip joint is imported into the Radlink Surgical Positioning software. The software calculates a target cup position using bony landmarks, and the surgeon matches the cup to the target.

What is being measured

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

  1. Radiographic cup abduction angle

    Angle of acetabular component in coronal plane measured on x-ray

    Measured: 4 month postoperative

  2. Radiographic cup anteversion angle

    Angle of acetabular component in sagittal plane measured on x-ray

    Measured: 4 month postoperative

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Variance of cup angles measured on x-ray

    Statistical homogeneity of angles and how spread out the data is.

    Measured: 4 month postoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Radlink Surgical Positioning Software in people with Total Hip Replacement, run by Anderson Orthopaedic Research Institute.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Aug 2019. 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?

Radiographic cup abduction angle (time frame: 4 month postoperative). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 1 Aug 2019.
