About this study

Official title: Evaluation Der Intraoperativen Umsetzung Von 3D Geplanten Osteosynthesen Mit Patientenspezifischen Zielvorrichtungen Durch Eine Quantitative Postoperative Erfolgskontrolle

Goal of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of 3D computer-planned fracture fixation with patient-specific instruments for clavicle, upper extremity, lower extremity and pelvis fractures compared with the standard procedure of fracture fixation.

Read the detailed description

The research hypothesis is: The medical product permits the fracture fixation of clavicle, upper extremity, lower extremity and pelvis fractures to be more accurate compared with standard procedures of fracture fixation. Accuracy is evaluated by calculating translation and rotation comparing the postoperative 3D model versus the preoperative 3D plan.

Secondary outcome is an assessment of the surgical outcome using validated outcome instruments for each fractured body part like "Patient related wrist Evaluation" (PRWE) scores for distal radial fractures, as well as evaluation of range of motion.

Being tested
fracture fixation with patient specific guides, standard procedure of fracture fixation
Medical subject headings
Humeral Fractures, Hip Fractures, Femoral Fractures, Skull Fractures

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • fracture fixation with patient specific guidesDevice

    Also called MyOsteotomy

    Using the preoperative computed tomography scan, a 3D planning of the fracture Fixation is made and patient-specific guides for fracure fixation are produced using a 3D Printer. These Patient-specific guides are used for fracture fixation

  • standard procedure of fracture fixationDevice

    the standard procedure of fracure fixation for each fracture localisation is used as a standard of reference

What is being measured

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

  1. 3D difference between preoperative plan and surgery

    For each surgery the discrepancy of the postoperative result compared to the preoperative planning is calculated by measuring all 6 degrees of freedom (3xrotation, 3xtranslation). The discrepancy between a simulated perfect postoperative result and the actual postoperative result is assessed in degree (rotation) and millimeters (translation). These measures are used to compare the outcome of the two different study Groups.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. surgical outcome assesed by validated outcome instruments

    The surgical outcome is assessed by using specific validated outcome instruments for each fracture localisation, for example PRWE-score for wrist fractures.

    Measured: 12 months

  2. range of motion

    range of Motion is postoperatively assessed and compared between interventional and control group

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing fracture fixation with patient specific guides and standard procedure of fracture fixation in people with Fracture of Humerus and Fracture of Ulna Radius, run by Balgrist University Hospital at 2 sites in Switzerland.

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 4 inclusion and 7 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 12 Jul 2019. 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 Switzerland. 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: difficulties recruiting participants). 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?

3D difference between preoperative plan and surgery (time frame: 12 months). 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 12 Jul 2019.
