About this study

Official title: Correlation Between the Lower Extremities and Lumbar Degenerative Diseases of the Elderly and Formulation on Treatment Principles

The study has before mentioned the concept of "knee - spine syndrome" domestically, on the basement of which, the new study intends to perform another further study on the relationship between lumbar and lower extremity degenerative diseases.

Read the detailed description

A prosepective, single-center, factorial design, randomized study will be performed. In this study, the 120 participants with degenerative lumbar and knees disease coped with the standard were included, then were assigned into 4 groups randomly. The patients in 3 operation groups were treated with posterior lumbar interbody fusion(PLIF or PLF) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or both of them in one stage respectively and the forth group with no surgery. The comparison between observation and operation group and the difference on self-control pre-and post-operatively in operation group within 6 months were measured and valuated. The result will be formed by the correlation and causal relationship on sagittal parameters on photograph, biomechanics, neuroelectrophysiology and molecular biology and the conclusions drawn by the use of modern medical basic research methods will formulate the treatment principles on it.

What participants receive

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

  • PLIFProcedure or surgery

    Randomly include the 30 participants diagnosed LSS and knee arthritis or limited by knee extension greater than 10 °who need to be operated and then performed PLIF or PLF; include anothr ones of 30 need to be with the implementation of TKA;and another group with the same diagnosis will be underwent both of surgeries in one stage.

  • TKAProcedure or surgery

    Randomly include the 30 participants diagnosed LSS and knee arthritis or limited by knee extension greater than 10 °who need to be operated and then performed PLIF or PLF; include anothr ones of 30 need to be with the implementation of TKA;and another group with the same diagnosis will be underwent both of surgeries in one stage.

What is being measured

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

  1. Body angle

    Body angle is defined an angle of the shoulder and femoral trochanter connection and the greater trochanter and knee lateral condyle connection.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Lumbar lordosis angle (LL)

    Lumbar lordosis angle

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Lumbar spinal area

    measured by CT(GE light speed QX/i)

    Measured: 6 months

  3. knee extension angle

    The angle of knee extension the angle between the line connecting the greater trochanter of the femur and the lateral condyle of the femur and the line connecting the lateral condyle of the knee and the lateral condyle of the ankle.

    Measured: 6 months

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Dec 2017. 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?

What does the primary outcome measure?

Body angle (time frame: 6 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 NCT03364790, 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 7 Dec 2017.
