Clinical Trial Summary

This is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the introduction of a 3D printed model into the pre and intra-operative planning for arthroscopic femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) surgery. The RCT will look to place patients into one of two treatment groups: 1) conventional preoperative imaging (X-ray, CT, and MRI) only and 2) those that have had a 3D printed model created in addition to the conventional imaging.


Description:

In this study, we investigate the use of 3D models during pre and intra-operative planning could improve the success of hip arthroscopy and reduce the incidence of revision cases. By adding an adjunct to the common suite of pre-operative imaging modalities (X-ray, MRI and CT), we can change the surgeon's understanding of each patient's individual morphology with a tactile physical model. This study will compare the success of hip arthroscopy in patients with or without 3D printed models (in addition to traditional pre-operative imaging). This will be a single-center, blinded observer, randomized controlled trial of 80 patients performed at the Halifax Infirmary, Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Center in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Patients with cam-type FAI involved in the study will be approached by the surgeon, Dr. Ivan Wong, or a delegate regarding the study during a pre-operative visit. Following a detailed discussion of the risks/benefits/alternatives of this study, the patient will be provided with a copy of the informed consent to review, if they demonstrate an interest in the study. If the patient wishes to be enrolled in the study, the research team will obtain patient consent for the study according to the Division of Orthopaedic Surgery and Nova Scotia Health Authority (NSHA) institutional protocols. In the pre-operative period, there will be no additional time requirements for the participant, except for the informed consent process for the study. Routine X-ray radiographs, as well as a pre-operative MRI and CT scan, will be obtained for all subjects undergoing FAI surgery. The participants will not be exposed to any additional radiation. Subjects will complete a structured clinical examination conducted by a sports medicine fellowship-trained orthopaedic consultant. The patient will also complete pre-operative questionnaires. Patients that have consented to the study will be randomized into two groups with a 50% chance of being in either group. Randomization will be done with a computer random number generator. Both groups will undergo routine pre-operative imaging but one group will also have a 3D print made from the 3D CT reconstruction. All patient groups will undergo hip arthroscopy for the treatment of their FAI.

Study Design


Intervention

Other:
3D Print + Conventional imaging
This group will have a 3D reconstruction of their hip printed using a 3D printer so that the PI can use it in their pre and intra-operative planning along with traditional imaging.
Conventional imaging
This group will have CT, MRI and X-Ray imaging completed so that the PI can use it in their pre and intra-operative planning.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other The number of times conventional imaging and 3D prints are referenced intra-operatively. Another secondary outcome is the number of times each of the following are referenced intra-operatively: X-Rays, MRI, MRA, CT, CT with 3D reconstruction and 3D model of patient's hip. Additionally the number of X-Ray images taken intra-operatively will be recorded. During surgery only
Primary Measure of CAM resection Our primary outcome for this study is the resection of cam impingement according to alpha-angle on post-operative anterior-posterior (AP) and frog leg X-ray views. Change in Pre-op measurements compared to 2 weeks post-operatively
Primary Measure of CAM resection Our primary outcome for this study is the resection of cam impingement according to alpha-angle on post-operative anterior-posterior (AP) and frog leg X-ray views. Change in Pre-op measurements compared to 6 months post-operatively

Secondary Differences in post-operative patient reported outcomes: iHOT-33 The secondary outcome is the differences in post-operative patient reported outcomes for the international hip outcome tool (iHOT-33) when compared to a pre-operative baseline. (Scores for the International hip outcome tool range from 0-100 where higher values represent better outcomes) Change in outcomes 24 months post operatively compared to Pre-operatively
Secondary Differences in post-operative patient reported outcomes: NAHS The secondary outcome is the differences in post-operative patient reported outcomes for the Non-arthritic Hip Score (NAHS) when compared to a pre-operative baseline.

Secondary Differences in post-operative patient reported outcomes: EQ5D The secondary outcome is the differences in post-operative patient reported outcomes for the European Quality of Life Questionnaire (EQ-5D) when compared to a pre-operative baseline. (Scores for EQ-5D range from 1-5 in 5 categories where lower values represent better outcomes in each category). Change in outcomes 24 months post operatively compared to Pre-operatively
Secondary Differences in post-operative patient reported outcomes: EQ5D-VAS The secondary outcome is the differences in post-operative patient reported outcomes for the European Quality of Life Questionnaire-Visual Analog Scale (EQ-5D-VAS) when compared to a pre-operative baseline. (Scores for EQ-5D-VAS range from 0-100 where higher values represent better outcomes). Change in outcomes 24 months post operatively compared to Pre-operatively
