Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 16 to 60 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult

Study population: Patients meeting the inclusion criteria and willing to take part in the study will be included investigators conducted an a priori test for sample size calculation using the G*Power 3.1.9.2 software. investigators assumed a CMS mean difference between the 2 groups of 16 points, a standard deviation of 20 points, an alpha of 0.05, and power (1 - b) of 80%; 21 subjects had to be included in each group. Our goal was to include 27 cases in each group to compensate for any lost subjects during the follow-up phase

Who cannot join

  • . Age outside the range
  • Open injury, old injury (≥ 3 weeks since injury)
  • Injury caused by other diseases (tendinitis, metabolic, et al.), concurrent shoulder osteoarthritis, arthropathy or any fracture
  • Any previous operation of the injured limb

About this study

Compare the clinical and radiological outcome between the arthroscopic and open surgical repair using suture button device method in cases with acute AC joint disruption

Read the detailed description

Acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation is a common shoulder injury, especially among athletes and has an estimated incidence of 17% of all shoulder injuries and30%-50% of athletic shoulder injuries ,In most cases, these are caused by a direct fall on the ipsilateral shoulder tip. The indirect mechanism of injury with an extended arm is rare, The Rockwood classification system is currently used and based on the degree and direction of the disrupted anatomy of the AC joint.

Despite the high prevalence of this injury, there is no consensus about its optimal treatment. A variety of surgical procedures are described in the literature, such as an augmented suture with absorbable materials, stabilization with Kirschner (K)-wires in combination with or without additional wire loops, hook plates, or the Bosworth screw, but none can be considered the gold standard of operative AC joint stabilization, another treatment option was offered by the Tight Rope system, This technique was developed as a minimally invasive procedure in the management of AC dislocations. Because of its minimally invasive approach, it reduces soft tissue damage and yields better cosmetic results.9 Also, there is no need for reoperation to remove the hardware that might screws, or plates. Moreover, the complications of hardware failure, like breakage, dislocations, or bone fractures, are minimized

What is being measured

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

  1. Radiological evaluation using the true anteroposterior view of the shoulder

    Radiological evaluation using the true anteroposterior view of the shoulder and AC projection (10 cephalic tilt with the beam centered over the AC joint)

    Measured: preoperative, three month postoperative and six month postoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acromioclavicular Joint Dislocation, 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 4 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Dec 2024. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Mohamed Adel abdelmajeed, residant (01121650557, mohamedadel@med.aun.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Radiological evaluation using the true anteroposterior view of the shoulder (time frame: preoperative, three month postoperative and six month postoperative). 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 NCT06019260, which also lists 5 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 27 Dec 2024.
