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 18 to 65 years
  • All sexes
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The study population consists of 500 healthy adults, including 250 males and 250 females, aged between 18 and 65 years. Participants were selected based on their pelvic computed tomography (CT) scans, which displayed complete and fully matured pelvic anatomy. Individuals with prior orthopedic surgeries, pelvic fractures, deformities, or any bone pathologies such as rheumatologic diseases, advanced osteoporosis, and bone metastasis were excluded. The study focuses on assessing anatomical parameters and optimal entry points for anterior column fixation using fluoroscopic guidance.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with pelvic computed tomography (CT) scans that provide complete anatomical details of the pelvis.
  • Patients aged 18 to 65 years.
  • Patients with fully matured bone structures, without evidence of fractures, deformities, or prior orthopedic surgery.
  • Patients with no history of rheumatologic disease, advanced osteoporosis, bone metastasis, or metabolic bone disorders.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with pelvic CT scans that do not fully display the anatomical structures.
  • Patients younger than 18 years or older than 65 years.
  • Patients with pelvic fractures, deformities, or prior orthopedic surgeries.
  • Patients with incomplete clinical or radiological data.
  • Patients with rheumatologic sequelae, bone metastasis, or metabolic bone diseases.

About this study

Official title: Defining Fluoroscopic Visualization Technique for Optimal Antegrade Entry Point and Anatomical Parameters in Anterior Column Fixation Corridor for Pelvic Surgery: A Novel Perspective

This retrospective observational study aims to define the optimal antegrade entry point for screw placement in the anterior column fixation corridor (ACFC) of the acetabulum. Using fluoroscopic visualization techniques, the study examines computed tomography (CT) scans from 500 healthy adult patients to simulate screw placement and measure anatomical parameters. The goal is to determine patient-specific entry points and to assess the feasibility of screw placement using axial fluoroscopic views. The study also investigates gender-specific anatomical variations to provide insights for safer and more precise screw placement during anterior column fixation in pelvic surgery.

Read the detailed description

This study focuses on developing and validating a fluoroscopic visualization technique for identifying the optimal antegrade entry point (OAEP) in the anterior column fixation corridor (ACFC) of the acetabulum during pelvic surgery. Using three-dimensional reconstructions from pelvic computed tomography (CT) data of 500 healthy adults, the study simulates screw placement within the ACFC. A cylinder representing the screw is inserted virtually through the OAEP, ensuring that it remains within the confines of the fixation corridor without breaching its boundaries. The study records anatomical measurements, including the corridor's diameter, length, and the angles required for sagittal and coronal plane inclinations to visualize the OAEP.

The study also examines gender-specific anatomical variations, including differences in ACFC diameter, length, and required fluoroscopic angles. By defining patient-specific entry points and establishing a reliable fluoroscopic technique, this study aims to provide a practical and accessible method for anterior column fixation, minimizing complications and improving the safety and precision of screw placement in pelvic surgeries.

This novel approach has the potential to offer a cost-effective alternative to more expensive navigation systems, making it widely applicable in clinical settings.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • No interventionOther

    This study is purely observational and does not involve any direct intervention. It utilizes retrospective analysis of computed tomography (CT) scans to simulate the fluoroscopic visualization and screw placement technique in the anterior column fixation corridor (ACFC) of the acetabulum. The objective is to define the optimal antegrade entry point and assess anatomical parameters without performing any physical intervention on the participants.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acetabulum Fracture, run by Bakirkoy Dr. Sadi Konuk Research and Training Hospital 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Oct 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?

Axial Visualization Success (time frame: During the simulation of the fluoroscopic imaging, typically within 1 hour of starting the procedure.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 9 Oct 2024.
