Trial summary

In this study, bilateral simultaneous high tibial osteotomy (HTO) was compared with staged bilateral HTO in terms of complications. We did not use any grafts to support the osteotomy line and the patients were mobilized immediately with a full load on a postoperative day 1. Read more about this study

About this study

In this study, bilateral simultaneous high tibial osteotomy (HTO) was compared with staged bilateral HTO in terms of complications. We did not use any grafts to support the osteotomy line and the patients were mobilized immediately with a full load on a postoperative day 1. And our hypothesis is that bilateral simultaneous applications are safe in comparison to the staged ones in terms of complications.

Read the detailed description

Knee osteoarthritis is the most common orthopedic chronic disease, and varus knee abnormalities can often be related. The load from the medial tibiofemoral joint increases significantly in varus alignment disorder and it plays an important role in the structural progression of knee osteoarthritis. Varus malalignment and patients with medial tibiofemoral disease comprise a common patient subset. The probability of progressing to severe disease is 3 to 4 times higher in these patients compared to those with a neutral knee alignment. Although the long-term results of high tibial osteotomy are well documented, but data on bilateral simultaneous HTO are insufficient. In general, staged surgery is preferred in bilateral cases due to the difficult rehabilitation, healing of the osteotomy line, and complications related to surgery. Advances in post-surgical rehabilitation have been made due to increased confidence in stability due to improvements in the technology of plates.The advantages of an bilateral simulatneous HTO is single administration of anesthesia, total shortening of the hospitalization periof and reduced costs.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gonarthrosis; Primary and Varus Gonarthrosis, run by Bezmialem Vakif University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 May 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Complications (time frame: 2 year). 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 22 May 2020.
