Trial summary

Total hip arthroplasty is a method of choice for treating advanced osteoarthritis of the hip and one of the most frequent orthopedic procedures. Of all hip surgical approaches described, the tendency for minimally invasive techniques has been dominated over the last few years due to faster patient mobilization… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparative Study of Minimally Invasive Surgical Approaches for Total Hip Arthroplasty: a Biochemical, Imaging and Clinical Evaluation in the Early Postoperative Period

Total hip arthroplasty is a method of choice for treating advanced osteoarthritis of the hip and one of the most frequent orthopedic procedures. Of all hip surgical approaches described, the tendency for minimally invasive techniques has been dominated over the last few years due to faster patient mobilization, reduced postoperative pain and need for blood transfusion. Two of the most common approaches used for minimally invasive total hip arthroplasty are: AMIS anterior approach and mini-posterior approach, which is a modification of the standard posterior approach. The purpose of this study is the biochemical, imaging and clinical evaluation of the tissue damage caused by the above-mentioned techniques of minimally invasive total hip arthroplasty.

Being tested
Mini posterior approach Total Hip Replacement, Anterior approach total hip replacement without a traction table, Anterior approach total hip replacement with a traction table
Medical subject headings

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
total hip arthroplasty via the mini posterior approachActive comparatortotal hip arthroplasty via the mini posterior approach. This approach was first described by Kocher and Langenbeck and later modified by Gibson in 1950. There is a convex incision centered on the posterior rim of the major trochanter. The incision follows the curve of the buttock and at the height of the posterior lip of the major trochanter, it is peripherally oriented along the posterior outer surface of the femur. The major gluteus is divided along the muscle fibers. Guiding sutures are inserted into the tendon mass of the hip rotor muscles just prior to their origin on the major trochanter and dissected to expose and subsequently retract the posterior hip capsule.
Receives: Procedure: Mini posterior approach Total Hip Replacement
THR via the anterior approach without traction tableActive comparatorThe anterior approach is a modification of the classic Smith- Peterson anterior hip approach as described by Berend et al in 2009 [7]. This approach utilizes the intermuscular plane between the tendon fascia lata and the sartorius muscle, and laterally repairs the fibers of the rectus femur to expose and enclose the anterior pubic joint. A surgical traction table may be used during surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Tissue damage change

    Investigate and quantify at the biochemical level with all available biomarkers the extent of tissue damage caused during a hip arthroplasty between different hip surgical approaches.

    Measured: Change from 6 to 24 and then 48 hours post-surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Imaging

    All patients will be subjected to imaging with a hip MRI

    Measured: Day 30 after surgery

  2. Clinical Tests change

    All patients will be monitored postoperatively for the prescribed period and data will be recorded.

    Measured: Change to clinical test from Day 2 to day 15 and then day 30 post-surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Mini posterior approach Total Hip Replacement, Anterior approach total hip replacement without a traction table and Anterior approach total hip replacement with a traction table in people with Hip Osteoarthritis and Hip Arthropathy, run by National and Kapodistrian University of Athens at 1 site in Greece.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 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 Greece. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Vasileios Nikolaou (+306932543400, vassilios.nikolaou@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Tissue damage change (time frame: Change from 6 to 24 and then 48 hours post-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 17 Mar 2020.
