Trial summary

ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION Knee osteoarthritis is a common joint pathology causing joint pain and ambulatory limitations. In primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgeries, medial parapatellar (MP) and subvastus (SV) approaches are frequently used. The MP approach provides good exposure and is more widely used.

About this study

Official title: Comparison of Early Outcomes of Primary Total Knee Arthroplasties Performed Using Subvastus and Medial Parapatellar Approaches and Evaluation of Quadriceps Muscle Elastography

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION

Read more

Knee osteoarthritis is a common joint pathology causing joint pain and ambulatory limitations. In primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgeries, medial parapatellar (MP) and subvastus (SV) approaches are frequently used. The MP approach provides good exposure and is more widely used. In the SV approach, the vastus medialis muscle is preserved. Some argue that the extensor mechanism may heal earlier with the SV approach. In this study, unlike previous studies, the investigators aimed to quantitatively compare the early outcomes of MP and SV approaches, through shear wave elastography (SWE) measurements isolated over the vastus medialis and vastus lateralis muscles.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

The study included 20 patients with indications for TKA due to primary osteoarthritis, divided into MP and SV groups. SWE measurements of the vastus medialis and vastus lateralis muscles were performed preoperatively and at 3-month follow-up. Clinical scores (Knee Society Score and WOMAC) and straight leg raising time were recorded both preoperatively and postoperatively.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Subvastus approach and Medial Parapatellar approach in people with Total Knee Arthroplasty, run by Istanbul University - Cerrahpasa at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 3 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 8 Mar 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Shear wave values (time frame: 3 month). 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 NCT06297746, which also lists 4 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 8 Mar 2024.
