Usability of the ADEPTH Sensor for Bore Depth Measurements in Plate Osteosynthesis Procedures (ADEPTH-Pilot)

April 16, 2024 updated by: SLAM Ortho B.V.

Usability of the ADEPTH Sensor for Bore Depth Measurements in Plate Osteosynthesis Procedures: a Monocenter Randomized Pilot Study

The goal of this monocenter randomized pilot study is to investigate the usability of the ADEPTH sensor for bore depth measurements in plate osteosynthesis procedures. The main question it aims to answer is:

- What is the usability score of the ADEPTH sensor for bore depth measurements during plate osteosynthesis procedures? Participants will receive either bore depth measurements with the ADEPTH sensor or with the manual depth gauge.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
No Intervention: Control
Participants will receive bore depth measurements with the manual depth gauge, which is the golden standard for bore depth measurements during plate osteosynthesis procedures.
Experimental: Intervention
Participants will receive bore depth measurements with the ADEPTH sensor, which is a new sensor technology for bore depth measurements during plate osteosynthesis procedures.
ADEPTH sensor will be used for bore depth measurements during plate osteosynthesis procedures.
