Trial summary

When the wrist is damaged, for traumatic or degenerative reasons, the cartilage is worn out and the bones rub together: this is osteoarthritis. In order to stop this pain, it may be necessary to block these bones from each other, sacrificing mobility to achieve indolence. Read more about this study

About this study

When the wrist is damaged, for traumatic or degenerative reasons, the cartilage is worn out and the bones rub together: this is osteoarthritis. In order to stop this pain, it may be necessary to block these bones from each other, sacrificing mobility to achieve indolence.

Multiple techniques are described according to the type of osteoarthritis and for each type of osteoarthritis itself, but the principle remains the same. The methods currently commonly proposed are the staple and the screwed plate.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the surgical practice of the Orthopaedics and Traumatology department of the University Hospital of Rennes, and its long-term results, as this type of surgery is intended to be definitive.

Read the detailed description

The surgery performed in the Orthopaedics and Traumatology department of the University Hospital of Rennes, has 2 notable points: its technique and its equipment.

  • The procedure is based on the staples 4Fusion1 (Stryker/Memometal), which is still poorly assessed in the literature.
  • The surgical procedure has several technical specificities: intra osseous cartilage freshening and preservation of the lunotriquetral ligament if intact.

What is being measured

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

  1. Assessment of the surgical procedure

    Assessement of the bones consolidation at at least 6 weeks post-surgery, using a radiological criterion : 3 out of 4 line spacing merged

    Measured: Day 1

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Pain assessment

    Evolution in pain reported by the patient by a pain assessment scale, with reference to preoperative assessment.

    Evaluation is based on the visual analog scale (VAS) in which the patients select a whole number (0-10 integers) that best reflects the intensity of their pain

    Measured: Day 1

  2. Grip force

    Change of the grip force measured by Jamar's hydraulic dynamometer, compared to pre-operative assessment

    Measured: Day 1

  3. Functional assessment of the wrist with Mayo Wrist Score

    International validated functional score. This evaluation yields a total score out of 100 points qualified as poor if <65 up to Excellent if >90.

    Measured: Day 1

  4. Functional assessment of the wrist with Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire

    International validated functional score. The Quick DASH tool uses a 5-point Likert scale from which the patient can select an appropriate number corresponding to his/her severity level/ function level

    Measured: Day 1

  5. Functional assessment of the wrist with Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation

    International validated functional score. The Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE) allows patients to rate their levels of wrist pain and disability from 0 to 10

    Measured: Day 1

  6. Patient's overall satisfaction about surgery

    Patient's overall satisfaction assessed by the question: "Would you do the surgery again? (balance between 0 and 10)"

    Measured: Day 1

  7. Material hindrance

    Specific items assessed during clinical evaluations. Quoted as 1 if at least one of the following events is evoked : Material-related pain, skin irritation, re-intervention for remote ablation

    Measured: Day 1

  8. Mean mobility arc

    Measurement of the arc of mobility in flexion - extension by goniometer

    Measured: Day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Follow-up consultation in people with Osteoarthritis Wrist, run by Rennes University Hospital at 1 site in France.

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 23 May 2023. 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 France. 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?

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?

Assessment of the surgical procedure (time frame: Day 1). 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 NCT04235972, 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?
