Trial summary

The aim of this prospective study is to assess extension apparatus function of the knee based on clinical, radiological, isokinetic and gait analysis data in patients after surgical treatment. There will be used physical examination, Lysholm-Tegner and Kujala scale for clinical assessment. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Clinical, Radiological, Isokinetic Assessment With Gait Analysis in Children After Surgical Treatment of Patellar Recurrent Dislocation.

The aim of this prospective study is to assess extension apparatus function of the knee based on clinical, radiological, isokinetic and gait analysis data in patients after surgical treatment. There will be used physical examination, Lysholm-Tegner and Kujala scale for clinical assessment. Merchant and lateral X-ray pictures will be analysed for patellar position verification along with isokinetic and gait evaluation to produce conclusions referring to efficacy of the treatment. All subjects included in the study were treated with mpfl reconstruction. Follow-up longer than 2 years in all cases, about 45 patients included.

Read the detailed description

Recurrent patellar dislocation occurs mostly in adolescents. Recently medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction has become treatment of choice in most cases. There is still insufficient literature to assess the operative treatment results according to functional testing.

The aim of this prospective study is to assess extension apparatus function of the knee based on clinical, radiological, isokinetic and gait analysis data in patients after surgical treatment. There will be used physical examination, Lysholm-Tegner and Kujala scale for clinical assessment. Merchant and lateral X-ray pictures will be analysed for patellar position verification along with isokinetic and gait evaluation to produce conclusions referring to efficacy of the treatment. All subjects included in the study were treated with mpfl reconstruction with gracilis tendon harvesting. Follow-up provided is longer than 2 years in all 45 cases planned to enroll. All subject are to be mailed and invited to check-up visit including analysis of parameters mentioned above. Soon after data collection text of the publication will be made. The results will be discussed with recent literature and conclusions will be made.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Recurrent Patellar Dislocation and Patellar Instability, run by Polish Mother Memorial Hospital Research Institute at 1 site in Poland.

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 3 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 12 Feb 2021. 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 Poland. 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?

Dislocation recurrence (time frame: 2 years). 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 12 Feb 2021.
