Trial Outcomes & Findings for TOKA: Custom Made Devices for High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) - Clinical Investigation (NCT NCT04574570)

NCT ID: NCT04574570

Last Updated: 2025-08-03

Results Overview

The device morphology assessment is performed by verifying the matching between the planned correction and the post-operative imaging results, along with the investigation of the maintenance of the desired correction at the follow-up meetings. These results are measured through the correction angle, using image-based techniques.

Timeframe: At 6 months after surgery

Population: Operated patients

The device morphology assessment is performed by verifying the matching between the planned correction and the post-operative imaging results, along with the investigation of the maintenance of the desired correction at the follow-up meetings. These results are measured through the hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA - mechanical axis) reported in degree, using image-based techniques.

Timeframe: At 6 months after surgery

The device morphology assessment is performed by verifying the matching between the planned correction and the post-operative imaging results, along with the investigation of the maintenance of the desired correction at the follow-up meetings. These results are measured through the Mikulicz point reported in % of the tibial width from the medial to the lateral region, using image-based techniques.

Population: Operated patients - European Quality of life via 5-Dimensions questionnaire (total) at 6 month after surgery

The functional assessment is performed via clinical scoring using the European Quality of life via 5-Dimensions questionnaire (EQ-5D). In this applied scoring system, respondents rank their health status into 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension can be rated from 1 to 3 as follows: 1=no problem, 2=moderate problems or 3=severe problems. The final total score is the sum of the scores given to each dimension and ranges from 5 (best outcome) to 15 (worst outcome).
