Trial Outcomes & Findings for New Tools for Assessing Fracture Risk (NCT NCT02436356)

NCT ID: NCT02436356

Last Updated: 2020-11-02

Results Overview

Bone Material Strength index (BMSi) By engaging the bone at 10 N and then delivering a single impact force of \~40 N, the OsteoProbe records the maximum penetration depth of conical-spherical tip into cortical bone. This indentation distance increase (IDI) is indexed to the IDI acquired from a reference material immediately after the bone IDI measurements, such that the OsteoProbe-based measurement known as bone material strength index (BMSi) is 100 times IDI of reference material divided by IDI of the patient's bone. A lower BMSi measurement is the result of a higher indentation distance into the bone. For statistical analysis, we used the mean of the 10 BMSi measurements per case.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Within a week before or after surgery to repair distal radius fracture

Population: Only Distal Radius Fracture Operative Group subjects underwent Osteoprobe measurements where Bone Material Strength index (BMSi) was obtained.

Bone Material Strength index (BMSi) By engaging the bone at 10 N and then delivering a single impact force of \~40 N, the OsteoProbe records the maximum penetration depth of conical-spherical tip into cortical bone. This indentation distance increase (IDI) is indexed to the IDI acquired from a reference material immediately after the bone IDI measurements, such that the OsteoProbe-based measurement known as bone material strength index (BMSi) is 100 times IDI of reference material divided by IDI of the patient's bone.

Population: Distal Radius Fracture Operative Group- Includes 11 high energy fracture and 17 low energy fracture subjects. Healthy Volunteers were only asked to complete the DASH at the baseline visit.

DASH (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand) is a 30-item self-report questionnaire designed to assess musculoskeletal disorders of the upper limbs. The score ranges from 0 (no disability) to 100 (most severe disability). A higher scores indicate a greater level of disability and severity, whereas, lower scores indicate a lower level of disability.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Post-op/-treatment: 3, 6, and 12 weeks

Population: Only subjects with a fracture were asked to complete the PRWE survey. Distal Radius Fracture Operative Group- Includes 11 high energy fracture and 17 low energy fracture subjects.

PRWE (Patient-rated wrist evaluation) is a 15-item survey designed to measure wrist pain and disability in activities of daily living. The PRWE consists of a pain subscale and a function subscale. The pain subscale contains 5 items, each rated 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain ever). The pain subscale is calculated by adding all 5 item scores together (minimum score: 0, maximum score: 50). A lower score indicates a lower pain level. The function subscale contains 10 items, each rated 0 (no difficulty) to 10 (unable to do). The function subscale is calculated by adding all 10 item scores together and dividing by 2 (minimum score: 0, maximum score: 100). A lower score indicates a lower disability level. The total PRWE score is calculated by adding the pain and function subscales together. The total PRWE score ranges from 0 (best score) to 100 (worst score). The lower the score the better the outcome.
