About this study

Official title: Periprosthetic Bone Remodeling in Femoral Neck Fracture Patients: a 5-year Follow up Study Addressing the Influence of Surgical Approach on Periprosthetic Bone Mineral Density.

Periprosthetic bone remodeling in femoral neck fracture patients: a 5-year follow up study addressing the influence of surgical approach on periprosthetic bone mineral density.

Read the detailed description

Between January 2014 and July 2017 a RCT was conducted at Sorlandet Hospital Kristiansand, Norway. The trial was approved by the regional ethics committee (2013/1853/REK) and registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT02028468).Patients between 70 and 90 years of age with displaced femoral neck fractures, intact cognitive function and the ability to walk with or without a walking aid prior to falling were asked for their agreement to be enrolled and partition occurred after informed consent.A subgroup analysis looking at periprosthetic bone mineral density around the femoral component was part of this level 1 single-center randomized trial. 51 patients were enrolled in this DEXA study, and future examination of bone remodeling in these patients is now planned.

Being tested
Dual-energy X-ray absorbtiometry to evaluate periprosthetic bone mineral density around an uncemented stem implanted using either lateral or anterolateral approach to the hip joint

What participants receive

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

  • Dual-energy X-ray absorbtiometry to evaluate periprosthetic bone mineral density around an uncemented stem implanted using either lateral or anterolateral approach to the hip jointOther

    The measurement will start in the area about 2 cm proximal to the greater trochanter and will stop slightly below the tip of the prosthesis. This is the baseline scan and will be carried out twice with the patient lying on the table, but with movement between each scan. This is done to calculate the CV, Coefficient of Variation. We will use the formula from Wilkinson and associates, where delta is standard deviations (SD) of the difference between the two BMD measurements for each patient. BMD has been measured at baseline, 3 and 12 months. A DXA scan is now planned at 60 months. Changes in BMD related to the 7 Gruen zones will be registered.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dual-energy X-ray absorbtiometry to evaluate periprosthetic bone mineral density around an uncemented stem implanted using either lateral or anterolateral approach to the hip joint in people with Bone Mineral Density and Femoral Neck Fractures, run by Sorlandet Hospital HF at 1 site in Norway.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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 26 Mar 2020. 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 Norway. 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?

Periprosthetic bone mineral density measured by dual-energy X-ray absorbtiometry (time frame: 5-year follow- up study). 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 NCT03753100, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 26 Mar 2020.
