Registration Number
NCT02826538
Lead Sponsor
Balgrist University Hospital
Brief Summary

Goal of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of 3D computer-planned fracture fixation with patient-specific instruments for clavicle, upper extremity, lower extremity and pelvis fractures compared with the standard procedure of fracture fixation.

Detailed Description

The research hypothesis is: The medical product permits the fracture fixation of clavicle, upper extremity, lower extremity and pelvis fractures to be more accurate compared with standard procedures of fracture fixation. Accuracy is evaluated by calculating translation and rotation comparing the postoperative 3D model versus the preoperative 3D plan.

Secondary outcome is an assessment of the surgical outcome using validated outcome instruments for each fractured body part like "Patient related wrist Evaluation" (PRWE) scores for distal radial fractures, as well as evaluation of range of motion.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
3D difference between preoperative plan and surgery12 months

For each surgery the discrepancy of the postoperative result compared to the preoperative planning is calculated by measuring all 6 degrees of freedom (3xrotation, 3xtranslation). The discrepancy between a simulated perfect postoperative result and the actual postoperative result is assessed in degree (rotation) and millimeters (translation). These measures are used to compare the outcome of the two different study Groups.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
range of motion12 months

range of Motion is postoperatively assessed and compared between interventional and control group

surgical outcome assesed by validated outcome instruments12 months

The surgical outcome is assessed by using specific validated outcome instruments for each fracture localisation, for example PRWE-score for wrist fractures.
