NCT02976532

Brief Summary

The study is designed to evaluate the use of electromagnetic tracking in femoral derotation osteotomies. The goal is to raise the precision of the surgical procedure in order to improve the outcome in short- and long term. The electromagnetic tracking system is evaluated against a base line CT scan serving as reference standard.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Difference between CT reference measurement and EMT measurement of femoral derotation osteotomies in degrees

    The study evaluates the result of the derotation measurement by the EMT system against the derotation in degrees that is measured with the difference between the pre- and the post-operative CT scan (meaning: EMT measurement intra-operative versus difference in femoral rotation in the CT scan between pre- and post-operative CT). The outcome is given in degrees.

    After the postoperative CT Scan (maximum of three month after surgery)

Study Arms (1)

EMT Arm

OTHER

The study is performed with a single arm, as the system is an additional tool for derotation measurement and the surgical procedure itself and its technique is not changed.

Other: Electromagnetic tracking unit in femoral derotation surgery

Interventions

Use of the electromagnetic tracking system during the surgical procedure in addition to the normal measurement with goniometer, the different devices listed are combined to form the EMT system unit

Also known as: A self developed software interface, EMT pointer device (FlexPointer E01 2002, fiagon GmbH, Berlin, Germany) for surface sampling, EMT sensors embedded in a clamp shell (PointerShell E01 2902, fiagon GmbH, Berlin, Germany), A field generator (AURORA v.2, Northern Digital, Waterloo, Canada)

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 40 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • functionally impairing internal rotation gait and indication for supracondylar derotation osteotomy (Evidence of falling because of internal rotation gait, abnormally increased femoral anteversion, confirmation of internal rotation gait in gait kinematics of hip rotation and foot progression angle and a mid point shift in the clinical examination).

You may not qualify if:

  • severe mental retardation and inability to undertake the CT scan
