Trial summary

The most effective treatment for atlantoaxial dislocation is surgical treatment, with the principle of achieving reduction, reconstruction, and fusion of the atlantoaxial joint. The surgical strategies mainly include simple anterior approach, simple posterior approach, and combined anterior posterior approach. Read more about this study

About this study

The most effective treatment for atlantoaxial dislocation is surgical treatment, with the principle of achieving reduction, reconstruction, and fusion of the atlantoaxial joint. The surgical strategies mainly include simple anterior approach, simple posterior approach, and combined anterior posterior approach. The investigators have summarized 904 cases of atlantoaxial instability or dislocation from 1998 to 2010 and preliminarily published the diagnosis and treatment strategy tree of the Third Hospital of Beijing Medical University. This strategy is divided into four types based on the severity of atlantoaxial dislocation: unstable, reversible, difficult to recover, and skeletal, and enters different surgical treatment processes. With the increase in the number of cases, accumulation of experience, and technological improvements in the past decade, spinal surgery colleagues have updated their classification diagnosis, diagnosis and treatment processes, and surgical techniques for atlantoaxial instability or dislocation.

However, the selection of treatment strategies for atlantoaxial dislocation is mostly based on the surgeon's own experience, and there is a lack of standardized, large-scale, and high-level evidence-based medical research on the safety and effectiveness of current empirical strategies. Based on this, this study intends to adopt a multicenter, retrospective, and prospective study to construct a high-quality clinical cohort of atlantoaxial dislocation, update the classification and diagnosis and treatment strategies of atlantoaxial dislocation. And conduct long-term follow-up on patients to evaluate their safety and effectiveness, guide the surgical treatment of atlantoaxial dislocation, and thus form a recognized diagnostic and treatment standard for atlantoaxial dislocation.

What is being measured

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

  1. The incidence of special attention adverse events in patients within 12 months after surgery

    The proportion of adverse events occurring in patients during the study period to the total number of study patients.

    Recording and reporting of adverse events, including: • deterioration of neurological function

    • Incision infection
    • Vascular injury

    Airway obstruction

    Poor reset

    • Unplanned readmission and unplanned reoperation • Internal fixation failure

    Fusion failure

    Surgical related lower cervical spine deformities

    Measured: 12 month follow up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Atlantoaxial Dislocation and Treatment, run by Peking University Third Hospital at 1 site in China.

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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Apr 2024. 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 China. 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?

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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The incidence of special attention adverse events in patients within 12 months after surgery (time frame: 12 month follow up). 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 Apr 2024.
