Trial summary

The mechanism of maintaining balance is a complex phenomenon, involving numerous systems of human body. High-energy trauma resulting in acetabular fracture damages some of the elements composing this delicate mechanism, potentially increasing the risk of falls in patients. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Static Balance Disorders in Patients After ( (ORIF) Surgical Treatment of Hip Acetabular Fractures

The mechanism of maintaining balance is a complex phenomenon, involving numerous systems of human body. High-energy trauma resulting in acetabular fracture damages some of the elements composing this delicate mechanism, potentially increasing the risk of falls in patients. There have not been any studies so far on balance levels in patients after surgical treatment of acetabular fractures.

Questions/purposes

  1. Do balance disorders occur in patients after ORIF of acetabular fractures?
  2. Do surgical approach and fracture pattern influence balance level of patients?
  3. Should therapy programs include certain stabilometric parameters adequate especially for this type of injury?
Read the detailed description

Methods Between 2014-2017, investigators evaluated 110 subjects: 55 patients after surgical treatment of acetabular fracture - the study population (mean age 43.6 ± 14.8 years) and 55 healthy subjects - the clinical control group (mean age 43.8 ± 14.9 years).

To ensure reliability of results, controls were individually matched to appropriate study population patients, in terms age, sex, body height and mass.

The study was conducted in Public Hospital and the protocol was approved by the Commission of Ethics (SKE 01-21/2014).

Investigators measured static balance in double leg stance (eyes open/eyes closed) for 30s on CQStab2P, a double module stabilometric platform.

The pain component of the Harris Hip score and the quality of fracture reduction (according to Matta's criteria) in digitized anteroposterior and two oblique view radiographs were analyzed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Static balance assessment with eyes open and closed

    Static balance parameters were analysed.

    Measured: 2014-2017

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Harris hip score

    Investigators determined patients' functional state on the basis of Harris Hip Score (HPP). This is an orthopedic tool which assesses functional state of patients after hip interventions. Harris hip score showed high validity and reliability. The tool assesses the following aspects: pain in the operated limb, hip movement range (registered with hand held goniometer), gait (limp, the distance a patient is able to walk, using mobility aids), other activities (walking the stairs, putting on shoes, and sitting, using public transport). Patients scored points for each analyzed element. The maximum number of points was 100. The score reflected the level of patient's functional state (a greater number of points meant that the patient had better ability). Then, we compared the results to the norms.

    Measured: 2014-2017

  2. Merle d'aubigné score

    disability score

    Measured: 2014-2017

  3. Body mass index

    Body weight and height will be collected

    Measured: 2014-2017

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?

Static balance assessment with eyes open and closed (time frame: 2014-2017). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04902209, which also lists 6 linked publications.

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 26 May 2021.
