Evaluating a new angle for hip cup placement to prevent dislocation after tumor surgery

A Multi-center, Double-blinded, Randomized Controlled Study Comparing Modified Cup Anteversion vs Conventional Cup Anteversion Placement in Prevention of Postoperative Dislocation in Patients Undergoing Acetabular Tumor Resection and Reconstruction

PHASE2 · Second Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University · NCT05593146

This study tests if changing the angle of the hip cup during surgery can help prevent dislocations in patients who have had tumor surgery on their hip.

What this trial studies

This clinical study investigates whether using a modified anteversion angle for the acetabular cup during hip reconstruction surgery can reduce the risk of dislocation compared to conventional placement. Patients undergoing acetabular tumor resection will be randomly assigned to receive either the modified angle or the standard angle. The study aims to assess dislocation rates within one year post-surgery, focusing on the relationship between the angle of the cup and dislocation occurrences. The hypothesis is that the modified angle will lead to fewer dislocations due to better alignment and reduced collision risk between components.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are patients over 16 years old with periacetabular tumors requiring 3D-printed hemipelvic endoprosthetic reconstruction.

Not a fit: Patients who have previously undergone hip joint surgery or those requiring hip revision for implant failure or infection may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly lower the incidence of dislocation in patients undergoing hip reconstruction after tumor removal.

How similar studies have performed: While similar studies have explored the impact of anteversion angles on dislocation rates, this specific approach is novel and has not been extensively tested.
