Trial summary

Acetabular fractures are the resultant from high-energy trauma or low-energy trauma in the elder patients. Usually, surgeons use LETOURNEL's classification or/and JUDET's one. Five elements are considered and associated to five type of fracture. Read more about this study

About this study

Acetabular fractures are the resultant from high-energy trauma or low-energy trauma in the elder patients. Usually, surgeons use LETOURNEL's classification or/and JUDET's one.

Five elements are considered and associated to five type of fracture. Even more, for orthopaedic surgeons with less experience with these fractures, correct classification can be more difficult.

So the the aim of this study is:

  1. Evaluate the efficacy of four "special" 3D reconstruction: a 3D reconstruction of the pelvis with anterior view, posterior view, endopelvic view where the opposite hemipelvis removed and an exopelvic view where the femoral head is removed according to the initial teaching of E. Letournel.
  2. Evaluate the addition of teaching of non-experimented surgeon on the accuracy of classifying acetabular fractures.
  3. Evaluate the addition of a digital algorithm (mobile application) on the accuracy of classifying acetabular fractures.
Read the detailed description

12 reviewers will be given the different imaging of each case and will be divided in 4 groups: novice (junior ER and ortho residents), intermediate (non-experimented orthopedic surgeons), intermediate with a formation on classifying acetabular fractures and finally experts (acetabular fracture expert surgeons) . For each patient, representative CT scans are provided for each assessment. The study will be divided into 3 phases separated by 4-6 weeks of time. In the first phase, for each patient, representative CT scans are provided for each assessment with 2D and multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) without 3D views. In the second phase, 3D views are added. In the third phase, the cases are evaluated using the "Acetabular Diagnosis Tool" To note, the evaluation of the cases is done twice in each phase separated by 4-6 weeks and the order of the cases is changed, both in order to minimize recall bias

What is being measured

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

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acetabular Fracture, run by Fondation Hôpital Saint-Joseph at 1 site in France.

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 20 Oct 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 France. 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 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?

3D reconstruction of pelvis CT scan (time frame: 6 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 20 Oct 2017.
