About this study

Official title: Effect of General and Regional Anesthesia on Fracture Healing

Investigator' s study designed to investigate effect of general and regional anesthesia on fracture healing.The 40 age and older ASAI-III patients who will operate due to femur fracture (except femur neck fracture) will be enrolled in this study after informed consent approval.

Subjects will be divided into two groups by a computerized randomization method. 40 patients will be enrolled in this study. General anesthesia will perform for 20 patients. Regional anesthesia will perform for 20 patients. Preoperative, 4. week and 12. weeks laboratory test which include blood and urine β-C terminal telopeptid (β-CTX), blood alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin will test for all patients. All patients will not use nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs during study neither perioperative nor postoperative periods. fracture healing will be asses with clinical evaluation and laboratory tests.

Investigator' s study designed to investigate effect of general and regional anesthesia on fracture healing.The 40 age and older ASAI-III patients who will operate due to femur fracture (except femur neck fracture) will be enrolled in this study after informed consent approval.

Subjects will be divided into two groups by a computerized randomization method. 40 patients will be enrolled in this study. Each group will have 20 patients. However a pilot study will perform for each groups with 10 patients. In Group G, all patients will be applied general anesthesia and 2 mg/kg propofol and 0,6 mg/kg rocuronium will administer to patients for induction of anesthesia. Maintenance of anesthesia will be made with %50-%50 O2/N2O and %2 sevoflurane. 0,1 mg/kg morphine will be held on last 10 minutes of operation for postoperative analgesia. Also, patient controlled analgesia with morphine(1 mg bolus and 20 min lockout time) will apply for postoperative analgesia. If it is necessary additional analgesic will provide with 100 mg peroral and intravenous tramadol. Regional anesthesia will perform for 20 patients which named Group R. In Group R combined epidural-spinal anesthesia will perform. Spinal %5 bupivacain 15 mg and 20µg fentanyl will apply and analgesia will provide with epidural bupivacain. Preoperative, 4. week and 12. weeks laboratory test which include blood and urine β-C terminal telopeptid (β-CTX), blood alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin will all patients. All patients will not use nonsteroid antiinflammatory drugs during study neither perioperative nor postoperative periods. Fracture healing will be asses with clinical evaluation and laboratory tests. All measurements will be assessed with statistically.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
General anesthesiaActive comparatorGeneral Anesthesia: Effect of general anesthesia will compare with regional anesthesia without use of nonsteroid antiinflammatory drug usage. Propofol 2mg/kg and rocuronium will be administered to patients for anesthesia induction. Anesthesia maintenance will ensure with sevoflurane %2 and N2O/O2 %50/50 mixture.
Receives: Drug: Sevoflurane
bupivacaineActive comparatorRegional Anesthesia: Effect of regional anesthesia will compare with general anesthesia without use of nonsteroid antiinflammatory drug usage. Combined epidural-spinal anesthesia will be performed to patients. %5 bupivacain and 20µg fentanyl will apply for spinal anesthesia. Anesthesia maintenance will ensure with bupivacain.
Receives: Drug: Bupivacaine

What is being measured

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

  1. Bone turnover markers level-β-C terminal telopeptid (β-CTX)

    Patients will follow until postoperative 12. weeks. β-C terminal telopeptid (β-CTX)(ng/mL or pg/mL) level will asses at preoperative, 4. week and 12. week

    Measured: up to 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Bone turnover markers level-osteocalcin

    Patients will follow until postoperative 12. weeks.Osteocalcin (pg/mL) level will asses at preoperative, 4. week and 12. week

    Measured: up to 12. weeks

  2. Bone turnover markers level-bone alkaline phosphatase

    Patients will follow until postoperative 12. weeks.Bone alkaline phosphatase (U/L) level will asses at preoperative, 4. week and 12. week

    Measured: up to 12. weeks

  3. Walking quality

    Patients will follow until postoperative 12. weeks. Walking Quality will asses with clinical evaluation. With walker, with support( guided walk), full independent walk

    Measured: up to 12. weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Sevoflurane and Bupivacaine in people with Closed Fracture of Hip, run by Cukurova University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 4 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 21 Nov 2017. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Bone turnover markers level-β-C terminal telopeptid (β-CTX) (time frame: up to 12 weeks). 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 NCT02621255, which also lists 3 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 21 Nov 2017.
