Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 35 to 83 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients presenting with basal joint arthritis who were scheduled to undergo arthroscopic resection arthroplasty of the CMC and/or STT joints.

Who may be able to join

  • Primary cases of ARA for thumb BJA with isolated CMC ARA or simultaneous ARA of the CMC and STT joints.

Who cannot join

  • Exclusions included 19 cases that received interposition materials that since have been shown to produce unfavorable postoperative inflammatory responses, (Orthadapt Bioimplant, Pegasus Biologics, Irvine, CA and Artimplant Artelon CMC-I Spacer, Small Bone Innovations, LLC, New York, NY), 6 cases that had prior CMC surgery, and 27 cases that underwent concomitant surgeries that would potentially effect outcome.

About this study

Official title: Arthroscopic Resection Arthroplasty of Basal Joint Arthritis: Comparing Outcomes of Isolated Carpometacarpal to Pantrapezial Disease

Compare outcomes of ARA for isolated CMC OA versus to simultaneous ARA of CMC plus STT

Read the detailed description

The purposes of this study were to report 1) long-term outcomes on a large series of patients that underwent arthroscopic resection arthroplasty (ARA) for thumb basal joint arthritis (BJA) and 2) to compare outcomes of ARA for isolated carpometacarpal osteoarthritis versus those undergoing simultaneous ARA of CMC plus the scaphotrapeziotrapezoid joint for pantrapezial disease.

Please note, all patients treated by Dr. Cobb for CMC and/or STT OA received the same treatment regardless of whether or not they chose to participate in the study. Patients who chose to enroll in the study received the same treatment as those who did not only their data was analyzed. Data collection is the same for those who do not participate, only their data is not analyzed.

Being tested
Arthroscopic Resection Arthroplasty

What participants receive

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

  • Arthroscopic Resection ArthroplastyProcedure or surgery

    Also called Arthroscopy

    Surgical removal of the arthritic joint(s) using a minimally invasive technique.

What is being measured

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

  1. Strength (pinch and grip)

    Measured: Change from baseline to 2 year follow-up.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Satisfaction with Perceived Surgical Outcome

    (0-5; 0 = not at all satisfied, 5 = completely satisfied)

    Measured: Reported at 2 year postoperative follow-up

  2. Pain

    numerical rating scale, (0-10; 0 = no pain, 10 = worst imaginable pain)

    Measured: Change from baseline to 2 year follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Thumb Osteoarthritis, run by Orthopaedic Specialist, PC, Davenport, IA.

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 8 Nov 2016. 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?

Strength (pinch and grip) (time frame: Change from baseline to 2 year follow-up.). 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 8 Nov 2016.
