Clinical Trial Summary

This is protocol is intended to demonstrate the principal investigator's improvements and modifications of a hip capsule side fixed slotted cannula for continued access to the hip joint and a bone graft delivery tool set for grafting subchrondral cysts during hip arthroscopy procedure.

Description:

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and acetabular dysplasia represent the two most common causes of secondary osteoarthritis of the hip1-3 and the two main indications for Hip Preservation procedures. Most patients with these pathologies will undergo Hip Arthroscopy, either alone, or combined with bony realignment procedures. Hip arthroscopy has grown exponentially over the past 15 years and is currently being leveraged in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of hip joint problems.

In an effort to improve surgical techniques, make surgeries faster and reproducible, mitigate complications and increase patient safety, surgeons modify and improve commercially available and commonly used non-significant risk devices with the above goals in mind.

For these reasons, the Principal Investigator (PI) modified and improved two devices for hip arthroscopy. These include the modified (1) hip capsule side fixed slotted cannula for continued access to the hip joint and (2) bone graft delivery tool set for grafting subchrondral cysts arthroscopically during hip arthroscopy procedure. After utilizing these modified devices clinically, the PI has been impressed with their impact and thus aims to demonstrate that the modifications provide significant improvements in surgical flow and technique, minimize surgical time (per technical phase), minimize surgical costs, result in an absolute low incidence of surgical complications, and ultimately improve patient outcomes.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Surgical time per technical phase measured in minutes	We aim to demonstrate that the use of the modified device for hip arthroscopy is fast and efficient as measured by surgical time per technical phase (i.e. arthroscopic labral repair phase and arthroscopic bone grafting phase).; Arthroscopic Labral Repair Phase: During hip arthoscopy, the surgical time of the arthroscopic labral repair phase will be collected.; Arthroscopic Bone Grafting Phase: During hip arthoscopy, the surgical time of the bone grafting of the hip joint phase will be collected.; In this design, the technical phase recorded will either be: 1) duration of arthroscopic labral repair phase (in patients only undergoing arthroscopic labral repair) or 2) duration of arthroscopic bone grafting phase (in patients undergoing arthroscopic bone grafting).	1 Day
Secondary	Rate of Surgical Complications	Total number of complications determined to be related to the hip arthroscopy procedure.	Up to 24 months
Secondary	Surgical costs per device used	Cost to use each device in surgery, measured in US dollars.	1 Day
Secondary	Patient Outcomes: Post-operative Pain	Pain, as assessed via a visual analog scale. Possible scores range from 0-100, with 0 indicating no pain and 100 indicating the most severe pain and a worse outcome.	Post operative up to Day 9
Secondary	Patient Outcomes: Change in Pain	Pain, as assessed via a visual analog scale. Possible scores range from 0-100, with 0 indicating no pain and 100 indicating the most severe pain and a worse outcome.	Pre-treatment, Week 6, Month 3, Month 6, Month 12, Month 24
Secondary	Patient Outcomes: Change in International Hip Outcome Tool (IHOT-12) Scores	The International Hip Outcome Tool (IHOT-12) measures both health-related quality of life and changes after treatment in young, active patients with hip disorders. Patients indicate their responses to the various questions by marking a 100 mm visual analog scale. The total score is calculated by calculating the mean of the participant's responses. Possible scores range from 0-100 with 0 indicating the worst and 100 indicating the best possible quality of life.	Pre-treatment, Week 6, Month 3, Month 6, Month 12, Month 24
Secondary	Patient Outcomes: Change in Non-Arthritic Hip Scores	The Non-Arthritic Hip score is a self-administered hip score measuring function and quality of life designed for use in younger patients with higher activity demands and treatment expectations than older patients with degenerative joint disease. Possible scores range from 0-4, with 0 indicating the worst and 4 indicating the best level of function and outcome for the patient.	Pre-treatment, Week 6, Month 3, Month 6, Month 12, Month 24
