Surgical Approach of Hemiarthroplasty After Femoral Neck Fracture:

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Rationale: In the Netherlands the two main surgical approaches for hemiarthroplasty are the posterolateral and the direct lateral approach. Currently there is no conclusive evidence which of these two approaches results in better patient outcomes. Objective: Assessing the patient outcome comparing the posterolateral with the direct lateral approach in patients being treated with cemented hemiarthroplasty after femoral neck fractures. Study design: A randomised controlled multi-center superiority trial and natural experiment with an economic evaluation alongside. Study population: All patients older than 18 years with a femoral neck fracture whereby treatment with cemented hemiarthroplasty is recommended according the national guidelines. Intervention: Treatment with cemented hemiarthroplasty using the posterolateral approach. Standard intervention to be compared to: Treatment with cemented hemiarthroplasty using the direct lateral approach. Main study parameters/endpoints: The primary outcome is the patient-rated quality of life (EQ-5D-5L) at 6 months after surgery. Secondary outcomes are: ADL functionality (KATZ), Balance test (SPPB), Tendency to Fall (FES-I), Pain (NRS), Re-interventions, Mobility, Discharge destination, Complications, and cost-effectiveness. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: The different approaches in the two treatment arms of the randomised controlled trial are widely used techniques in the Netherlands and many of the outcome measures are part of the standard clinical follow-up after hip fracture. Therefore, there is no extra risk or burden for participating patients, except for the time to complete some additional follow-up measurements. The primary outcome measurement and secondary outcomes, will be assessed through questionnaires online, by hardcopy or by phone at baseline, 4 weeks, 3 and 6 months postoperatively. The assessment of the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) balance test, will be performed by one of the study researchers or nurse practitioner to protect continuity and feasibility.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
