Trial summary

Acetabular fractures are complex, relatively rare lesions that are difficult to manage. Given the surgical challenge they represent, they are often managed by expert centers. The overall incidence of these fractures is around 3 fractures/100,000 persons/year. Read more about this study

About this study

Acetabular fractures are complex, relatively rare lesions that are difficult to manage. Given the surgical challenge they represent, they are often managed by expert centers. The overall incidence of these fractures is around 3 fractures/100,000 persons/year.

It is now well established that the quality of the reduction obtained is an important predictive factor of the postoperative outcome in patients with displaced acetabular fractures. Obtaining an anatomical reduction, at least satisfactory, is not always easy, even in trained teams. Indeed, it can be difficult because of the structural environment. This is due to the proximity of the acetabulum to the vasculo-nervous elements, but also to the complexity of the fracture itself. The contribution of new technologies appear to be important tools to achieve this objective. Indeed, investigators have demonstrated that the use of the O-ARM imaging system (Medtronic®, Sofamor, Memphis, TN) allowed the improvement of their results.

Although they occur more frequently in the elderly population, the average incidence is maintained in the 20-59 age group. In these young populations, the fracture occurs most frequently as a result of a high-energy mechanism (road accident, more exceptionally, during a sporting activity). These patients, in the prime of their lives, are often athletic. The desire to resume sports after surgery is a powerful motivating factor for these patients. Often, it is the primary measure of surgical success from the athlete's perspective. In a previous work, Giannoudis et al. reported a 42% rate of return to activity at the previous level. The quality of the surgery is associated with the possibility of resuming sports activity after the procedure.

Thus, the objective of this work is to determine the results of acetabular surgery in a population of previously athletic patients, in particular the return to athletic performance.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence of patients returning to sports after surgery at 2 years

    This outcome corresponds to the number of patients who have returned to sport at the same level, performing at or above their pre-injury level, without time limitation.

    Measured: Year 2

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Complication rate

    This outcome corresponds to the number of patients with postoperative complications (infection, hematoma, anemia requiring transfusion).

    Measured: Year 2

  2. Quality of sports recovery at 2 years

    This outcome corresponds to the time to resume performance.

    Measured: Year 2

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acetabular Fracture, run by Fondation Hôpital Saint-Joseph at 1 site in France.

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 5 inclusion and 10 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Sep 2023. 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 France. 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?

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?

Prevalence of patients returning to sports after surgery at 2 years (time frame: Year 2). 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 NCT05332938, which also lists 7 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 13 Sep 2023.
