About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Surgeon Performance to Restore Leg Length and Evaluation of the Quality of Life After Total Hip Replacement Related to the Reconstructed Anatomy With EOS Imaging System

This study used 3D reconstructions from the EOS biplanar radiographic imaging system to perform leg length measurements before and after THA (Total hip arthroplasty) on all included THA patients from 2015 to evaluate surgeon performance in restoring lower limb length after THA and the relationships between the quality of life, estimated by the HOOS score (Hip disability and osteoarthritis outcome score), and the anatomy of the new hip in standing position.

Read the detailed description

The study was conducted in patients who underwent a total hip arthroplasty in Lariboisiere Hospital, Paris, France, during the year 2015.

This retrospective study used 3D reconstructions from the EOS biplanar radiographic imaging system (EOS imaging, Paris, France) to perform leg length measurements before and after THA on all included THA patients from 2015 to evaluate surgeon performance in restoring lower limb length after THA. Included patients either had hip osteoarthritis or femoral head osteonecrosis. Patients were excluded if they were undergoing revision surgery, or had a contralateral THA or total knee.

The performance of the surgeons was judged using the Cumulative Sum control chart (CUSUM) method.

Our objective was to study surgeon performance, measured by their ability to restore the initial preoperative length of the operated leg or to equalize the length of the two legs, and evaluate the relationships between the quality of life, estimated by the HOOS score, and the anatomy of the new hip in standing position using the EOS imaging system.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in anatomic lower limb length measurements between preoperative and postoperative measurements

    Measured: preoperative measurements (up to 1 year before surgery) and postoperative measurements (at 1 month after surgery)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in flessum/recurvatum/HKS angle (hip knee shaft ) measurements, between preoperative and postoperative measurements

    Measured: preoperative measurements (up to 1 year before surgery) and postoperative measurements (at 1 month after surgery)

  2. HOOS score (Hip disability and osteoarthritis outcome score)

    The outcome score consists of 40 items assessing 5 subscales. Pain (P) includes 10 items with a total score of 40 points, Symptoms (S) includes 5 items with a total score of 20, Activity limitations daily living (ADL) includes 17 items with a total score of 68 and finally Function in sport and recreation (SP) and hip related quality of life both include 4 items with a total score of 16 each.

    To answer the questions, standardized answer options are given with scores from 0 to 4 (no, mild, moderate, severe and extreme).

    To interpret the score, the outcome measure is transformed in a worst to best scale from 0 to 100, with 100 indicating no symptoms and 0 indicating extreme symptoms.

    To calculate the total HOOS score the subscales need to be summed up, using following formula for all dimension.

    100 - [(patient's score of the subscale x 100)/(total score of the subscale)]

    Measured: 24 months after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Total Hip Arthroplasty, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris.

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 5 inclusion and 4 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 19 Feb 2018. 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?

Change in anatomic lower limb length measurements between preoperative and postoperative measurements (time frame: preoperative measurements (up to 1 year before surgery) and postoperative measurements (at 1 month after surgery)). 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 19 Feb 2018.
