About this study

Official title: Core Decompression With Bone Chips Allograft Adjuvanted by Fibrin Platelet Rich-plasma (PRP) and Concentrated Autologous Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCS): Results in Avascular Necrosis of Femoral Head (AVN) After 2 Years Minimum Follow-up

This retrospective study evaluates 52 cases of avascular necrosis of femoral head (AVN) treated by core decompression, bone chips allograft, fibrin platelet rich-plasma (PRF) and concentrated autologous mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs).

Read the detailed description

We report 52 cases of avascular necrosis of the hip (AVN), operated by decompression of the necrotic area with bone chips allograft, adjuvanted by concentrated autologous mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and fibrin platelet rich-plasma (PRP).

The patients were followed-up at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months and then every year. Each time a clinical evaluation by Harris Hip Score (HHS) was carried out by the same orthopedic surgeon. Radiological controls (pelvis and hip affected) were performed at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months and then every year.

The primary outcome evaluated was the avoiding or delaying of total hip replacement (THR), while the secondary outcomes were the assessment of any change in clinical performance as measured by Harris Hip Score

What is being measured

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

  1. Avoiding arthroplasty

    The primary outcome evaluated was the avoiding or delaying of total hip replacement (THR)

    Measured: 24 months after surgery

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Harris Hip Score

    The collection of functional outcomes score HHS at 6 weeks. The HHS is a measure of dysfunction so the higher the score, the better the outcome for the individual. The maximum score possible is 100. Results can be interpreted with the following: <70 as poor result; 70-80 as fair, 80-90 as good, and 90-100 as excellent results.

    Measured: 6 weeks after surgery

  2. Harris Hip Score

    The collection of functional outcomes score HHS at 3 month after surgery. The HHS is a measure of dysfunction so the higher the score, the better the outcome for the individual. The maximum score possible is 100. Results can be interpreted with the following: <70 as poor result; 70-80 as fair, 80-90 as good, and 90-100 as excellent results

    Measured: 3 months after surgery

  3. Harris Hip Score

    The collection of functional outcomes score HHS at 6 month after surgery. The HHS is a measure of dysfunction so the higher the score, the better the outcome for the individual. The maximum score possible is 100. Results can be interpreted with the following: <70 as poor result; 70-80 as fair, 80-90 as good, and 90-100 as excellent results.

    Measured: 6 months after surgery

  4. Harris Hip Score

    The collection of functional outcomes score HHS at 12 month after surgery. The HHS is a measure of dysfunction so the higher the score, the better the outcome for the individual. The maximum score possible is 100. Results can be interpreted with the following: <70 as poor result; 70-80 as fair, 80-90 as good, and 90-100 as excellent results.

    Measured: 12 months after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Core decompression procedure in people with Hip Necrosis and Hip Injuries, run by Dante Dallari, MD at 1 site in Italy.

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 6 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 24 Dec 2019. 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 Italy. 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?

Avoiding arthroplasty (time frame: 24 months 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 24 Dec 2019.
