About this study

Official title: Comparison of Meniscus Extrusion Between Preoperative and Postoperative Medial Opening Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy by Using Ultrasonographic Assessment

The purpose of this study is to measure the changes in the medial and lateral meniscus extrusion of the knee joint before and after surgery using ultrasound in patients who undergo medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy, and examine the differences.

Read the detailed description

High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is an established treatment method for medial compartment osteoarthritis with varus knee deformity in a relatively young patient group. Excellent outcomes of HTO have been reported. However, about 10-30% of patients are not satisfied with the results after surgery. After proximal tibial osteotomy, studies on the factors of dissatisfaction have been actively conducted, but studies on the medial and lateral meniscus extrusion, which can be the cause, are insufficient. The relationship between the prolapse of the medial meniscus and articular cartilage is already well known and is known as an important factor in the progression of arthritis. As such, the association between the knee joint with meniscus extrusion and the general knee joint has been studied, but the effect on the clinical outcome after proximal tibial osteotomy has not been studied. Therefore, in this study, the investigators are planning to investigate the differences in clinical outcomes such as the degree and change of medial and lateral meniscus extrusion through non-invasive ultrasound examination before and after surgery in patients who undergo medial open proximal tibial osteotomy.

This study will enroll the patients with knee medial compartment osteoarthritis of the knee joint who undergo open proximal tibial osteotomy. The degree of medial and lateral meniscus extrusion will be measured through ultrasound measurements before and after surgery. Also, demographic factors and radiographic measurements will be also investigated before and after surgery. In addition, preoperative, postoperative 3, 6, and 1 year clinical results including meniscus extrusion will be compared and judged, and the evaluation will be evaluated by an orthopedic surgeon who has not participated in the operation among registered researchers.

  3. EQ-5D(EuroQoL-5 Dimension)

    Measured: changes from pre-operative EQ-5D score at post-operative 3rd month, 6th month and 1 year

  4. X-ray

    Kellgren-Lawrence grade

    Measured: changes from pre-operative Kellgren-Lawrence grade at post-operative 3rd month, 6th month and 1 year

  5. X-ray

    weight bearing line ratio

    Measured: changes from pre-operative weight bearing line ratio at post-operative 3rd month, 6th month and 1 year

  6. Knee range of motion

    Measured: changes from pre-operative knee range of motion at post-operative 3rd month, 6th month and 1 year

  7. Ultrasonographic evaluation of medial and lateral meniscus extrusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Osteoarthritis, Knee, run by The Catholic University of Korea at 1 site in South Korea.

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 5 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 22 Jan 2021. 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 South Korea. 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 Yong Gyu Sung, MD (+82-10-9216-0997, ygsung@catholic.ackr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

WOMAC(Western Ontario and McMaster University Arthritis Index ) pain scale (time frame: changes from pre-operative WOMAC score at post-operative 3rd month, 6th month and 1 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 Jan 2021.
