About this study

To reproduce anatomical reduction and appropriate implant placement/choices during osteosynthesis for elbow fractures, a 3D preoperative planning system was developed. To assess the utility of 3D digital preoperative planning for the osteosynthesis of distal humerus fractures, the reproducibility of implant reduction shapes and placements in patients with distal humerus fractures will be evaluated.

Read the detailed description

3D preoperative planning will be applied for four distal humerus fracture cases . The preoperative planning will be performed in order to determine the reduction, placement and choices of implants. After the operation, the accuracy of the reduction and implants choices and placements will be verified. The reductions will be evaluated with an angle between the diaphysis axis and a line connecting the medial epicondyle with the lateral epicondyle and an angle between the diaphysis axis and the articular surface in the coronal plane and distance between the anterior diaphysis and the anterior articular surface in the sagittal plane for the 3D images of distal humerus. The reproducibility will be evaluated by the differences of the parameters between pre- and post-operative images.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Digital preoperative planning in people with Distal Humerus Fracture, run by Tokyo Medical University at 1 site in Japan.

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 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 27 Apr 2022. 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 Japan. 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 Yuichi Yoshii (81298871161, yy12721@yahoo.co.jp), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Reduction shape (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04349319, 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Apr 2022.
