About this study

Official title: A Retrospective Study for Congenital Hand and Upper Extremity Malformations in Assiut University Hospital During the Last Twenty Years

Getting the incidence of upper limb anomalies in our department from 2000 to 2020 and classifying them using IFSSH classification and OMT classification

Read the detailed description

A retrospective look at the past 20 years illustrated the changes and developments that characterize the world of hand surgery. During these years, old techniques were developed and standardized, new surgical techniques were described, our knowledge improved and illustrated by better classification systems, and new ideas were born that would guide the future of hand surgery. Limb deformities are among the most common birth defects in infants. Over the past 150 years, many classifications of limb abnormalities based on bone morphology and anatomy have been developed.

Congenital anomalies of the hand require consistent and reproducible terminology, and it is a universal language that allows discussion of complex clinical entities, treatment indications and outcome comparisons.

Ideally, the classification of congenital anomalies of the hand will depend on the etiology, giving some indication of the location in the molecular pathway and / or the anatomical location in the developing limb bud where the error occurs and the moment when the fault occurs. The terms should be understandable to geneticists, anatomists, pathologists, and surgeons, and they should allow easy interpretation to parents and, where appropriate, children affected by these conditions. The classification of congenital anomalies of the upper extremity and the important association of these anomalies with systemic disorders and syndromes are described in this study. Depending on the classification, examples are given for each class of anomalies.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Congenital Limb Anomaly Nos, run by Assiut 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 10 Jan 2022. 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 Shady Salieb, MD (+201028700865, shadymagdy93@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidences of anomalies (time frame: Baseline). 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 NCT05182333, which also lists 2 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 10 Jan 2022.
