Overview

The study is to prospectively compare absorbable sutures with non-absorbable sutures used for capsular repair during hip arthroscopic procedures. Major outcomes will be measured using three questionnaires ((1) International Hip Outcome Tool-12 (iHOT-12), (2) modified Harris hip score, (3) hip outcome score) in addition to the standard of care set of 9 questionnaires. The other major outcome will be any radiographic heterotrophic ossification at the 6-month follow-up time point.

Description

  1. International Hip Outcome Tool-12 is a 33-item patient-reported measure of health-related quality of life. It was designed to measure the impact of hip disease in young, active patients and to measure the effect of treatment of this disease.
  2. Modified Harris hip score is composed of 8 survey questions to determine gait, functionality and pain.
  3. The hip outcome score is 26 survey questions designed to asses the outcome of arthroscopic hip surgery for individuals with acetabular labral tears, including sports related questions and activities of daily living.

Standard of care questionnaires will be given at follow up clinic visits. They are the:

  1. Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Physical Function
  2. PROMIS pain interference
  3. PROMIS Global Health
  4. Pain Visual Analog Scale
  5. Hip Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE)
  6. Modified Harris Hip Score
  7. Marx Activity Scale
  8. Tegner Activity Scale
  9. Surgical Satisfaction

These questionnaires will be given at preoperative, 6-week, 3-month, 6-month, 1 year, 2 years and any other follow-up visits in association with surgery.

Any Radiographic images taken as standard of care (SOC) (post-operative radiographs are SOC) will be used in the study to determine Radiographic Heterotroph Ossification (HO) at 6 Months.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
