Trial summary

Valgus high tibial osteotomy (HTO) and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) are established treatment options for patients with medial compartmental osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee.However, the clinical outcomes of these treatment modalities for unicompartmental OA have become subjects of debate.

About this study

Official title: Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty vs High Tibial Osteotomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Valgus high tibial osteotomy (HTO) and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) are established treatment options for patients with medial compartmental osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee.However, the clinical outcomes of these treatment modalities for unicompartmental OA have become subjects of debate.

Read the detailed description

Although HTO for the correction of malalignment in the medial osteoarthritic knee has been shown to provide successful outcomes in some studies, it is technically difficult to achieve the ideal valgus position postoperatively, and the likelihood of postoperative complications after HTO is greater than that after UKA . As compared with HTO, UKA has been reported to provide better long-term results, to have a shorter time to full weight bearing, to allow easier rehabilitation, and to have fewer perioperative complications. Furthermore, indications for UKA are broadening, including younger and more active patients, since encouraging midterm and long-term results were published.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Unicompartmental Knee ReplacementProcedure or surgery

    Unicompartmental Knee Replacement involves replacement of the medial compartment of the knee in patients with anteromedial osteoarthritis.

  • High Tibial OsteotomyProcedure or surgery

    High Tibial Osteotomy involves medial wedge opening high tibial osteotomy in cases of anteromedial osteoarthritis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pain and Function using Oxford Knee Score

    this will be measured by using the Oxford Knee Score, a patient reported outcome questionnairewhich is A patient reported outcome measure highest score that could a patient get is 48 and means that good outcome and the lowest score to be obtained is 0 whick means poor outcome ( the higher the score,the better the outcome)

    Measured: at least two year follow up.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Range of Motion and Function using the American Knee Society Score.

    this will be measured using the American Knee Society Score (AKSS). A clinician assessed score examining pain, stability, range of movement and function in which the maximum score to get is 100 and least score to get is 0 and the higher the score the better the outcome.

    Measured: at least two year follow up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Unicompartmental Knee Replacement and High Tibial Osteotomy in people with Knee Osteoarthritis and Knee Arthroplasty, run by Assiut University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 4 inclusion and 7 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 7 May 2024. 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 Egypt. 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?

Pain and Function using Oxford Knee Score (time frame: at least two year follow up.). 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 7 May 2024.
