About this study

We performed a prospective case series study of 48 patients who suffered Lateral patellar compression syndrome who were diagnosed by clinical examination and confirmed by M.R.I. and failed conservative management and underwent isolated arthroscopic lateral patellar retinaculum release in Erbil Teaching Hospital, PAR Private Hospital and Hawler Private Hospital between December 2016 and August 2019.

What is being measured

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

  1. Lysholm Knee Score

    Eight sections are assessed to produce an overall score on a scale of 0 to 100. Then an assignment is given as "excellent" for 95 to 100 points; "good" for 85 to 94 points, "fair" for 65 to 84 points, or "poor" for less than 65 points

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Lateral patellar release in people with Knee Pain Chronic, run by Hawler Medical University.

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 12 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 18 Mar 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Lysholm Knee Score (time frame: 12 months). 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 18 Mar 2020.
