About this study

In this study, investigators will demonstrate and prove a ellipse method (Liaw's version) for measurement and detection of acetabulum cup retroversion.

Read the detailed description

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is considered to be the best and most reliable treatment of end-stage hip disorders with satisfactory long-term clinical outcomes. However,the incidence of postoperative dislocation ranges from 0.3% to 3% in primary THA. The most important risk factor is malpositioning of implant components. Generally, excessive anteversion and retroversion increase risk of anterior and posterior hip dislocation respectively. Several radiological methods have been proposed to measure anteversion of the acetabular cup on plain radiographs, but most of these methods cannot accurately distinguish cup retroversion from anteversion. In this study, investigators will demonstrate and prove a ellipse method (Liaw's version) for measurement and detection of acetabulum cup retroversion.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Orthopedics, run by Taipei Medical University.

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 3 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 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?

A computerized ellipse method (Liaw's version) for measurement and detection of acetabulum cup retroversion. (time frame: 10 days). 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 3 Mar 2021.
