About this study

This study mainly measures the orientation of acetabulum cup post total hip arthroplasty. Using "Liaw's Version", a new and accurate standardization method, investigators are trying to analyze acetabulum cup anterversion change postoperatively.

Read the detailed description

Patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty have generally good prognosis. However, clinically there was still a minority of patients who suffered from persistent postoperative pain. Dislocations of hip leading to revision surgeries were as well observed in some patients.

This study mainly measures the orientation of acetabulum cup post total hip arthroplasty. Using "Liaw's Version", a new and accurate standardization method, investigators are trying to analyze acetabulum cup anterversion change postoperatively.

As previously known, the anteversion of acetabulum cup determines the range of motion, stability, and the function after total hip arthroplasty. Cup malalignment increase impingement, dislocation, cup migration, and polyethylene wear. Finding a pattern may help the early diagnosis of acetabular loosening.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Mar 2021. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Chen-Kun Liaw (+886963969162, chenkunliaw@tmu.edu.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Analyze acetabulum cup anterversion change postoperatively (time frame: 1 week). 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?
