Trial summary

Purpose: This study outlines the benefits of the proximal tibia angle (PTA) in evaluation of the pre-operative individual condylar twist angle (CTA) in total knee arthroplasty. Methods: Condylar twist angle and proximal tibia angle were obtained from 33 female healthy participants using computed tomography (CT). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Pre-operative Radiological Measurement of Proximal Tibia Angle to Assess Femur Rotational Alignment in Total Knee Arthroplasty

Purpose: This study outlines the benefits of the proximal tibia angle (PTA) in evaluation of the pre-operative individual condylar twist angle (CTA) in total knee arthroplasty.

Methods: Condylar twist angle and proximal tibia angle were obtained from 33 female healthy participants using computed tomography (CT). The CTA, angle between clinical transepicondylar axis and posterior condylar line were measured. The PTA is the angle formed between the mechanical axis of the tibia and tibia plateau line. The correlation between the CTA and the PTA was analyzed statistically with the linear regression.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Total Knee Replacement, run by Xi'an Honghui Hospital at 2 sites in China.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jun 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Qiang He, MD (13572887175, heqianghonghui@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

proximal tibia angle (PTA) (time frame: Four 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 NCT02817737, 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 29 Jun 2016.
