Trial Summary

Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.

What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment Modified bone graft delivery tool set, Modified hip capsule side fixed slotted cannula for hip surgery?

The use of slotted cannulas in hip arthroscopy allows for safer introduction of curved instruments into the hip joint, reducing the risk of damage to the joint. Additionally, modified portals for hip arthroscopy can minimize damage to surrounding tissues and improve access to the hip joint, which may enhance the effectiveness of surgical procedures. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

How is the treatment 'Modified Arthroscopy Tools for Hip Surgery' different from other treatments?

This treatment is unique because it uses a modified bone graft delivery tool set and a slotted cannula, which allows for the introduction of curved instruments into the hip joint with less risk of damage to the cartilage. The slotted cannula can be removed for better instrument mobility, making the procedure more efficient and potentially safer compared to traditional methods that use larger or flexible cannulas. ^{1 2 4 6 7}

What is the purpose of this trial?

This is protocol is intended to demonstrate the principal investigator's improvements and modifications of a hip capsule side fixed slotted cannula for continued access to the hip joint and a bone graft delivery tool set for grafting subchrondral cysts during hip arthroscopy procedure.

Treatment Details

Interventions

• Modified bone graft delivery tool set
• Modified hip capsule side fixed slotted cannula

Trial Overview The study is testing modified surgical tools in hip arthroscopy: a slotted cannula designed for better access to the hip joint and a tool set for delivering bone grafts to treat cysts. The goal is to see if these new tools improve the procedure.

Participant Groups

Group I: Arthroscopic bone grafting Active Control 2 Interventions

Patients undergoing arthroscopic bone grafting of subchrondral cyst with the use of the modified bone graft delivery tool set and modified hip capsule slotted cannula.

Group II: Arthrosocpic labral repair Active Control 1 Intervention

Patients undergoing arthroscopic labral repair with the use of the modified hip capsule slotted cannula.
