Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to compare postoperative results between patients who had total hip arthroplasty (THA) with and without the use of a computer navigation program. The main questions this study aims to answer are: - Can using computer navigation produce better THA implant placement? - Can using computer navigation make surgery more efficient? Participant data collected include their postoperative x-rays and total operative time.
Robotic arthroplasty is increasing in acceptance on a global scale as a result of advancements in orthopedic surgery technology. The investigators aimed to share their anesthesia management experience as well as compare robotic unilateral total hip arthroplasty with conventional surgical technique in this retrospective study.
This is a pilot cluster randomized controlled trial to to evaluate the individual and health system impacts of implementing a new physiotherapist-led primary care model for hip and knee pain in Canada.
To ensure early mobilization, minimize suffering, and to prevent postoperative complications postoperative pain, should be reduced as soon and as effectively as possible. A non-pharmacological post-operative intervention in terms of the application of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), could have the potential to accelerate early mobilization and reduce the use of opioids. The overall aim is to demonstrate that the addition of TENS to standard postoperative pain management of orthopedic patients can alleviate pain during mobilization and at rest
Aims The primary aim of this prospective, multi-centre study is to describe the rates of returning to golf following hip, knee and shoulder arthroplasty in an active golfing population. Secondary aims will include determining the timing of return to golf, changes in ability, handicap, and mobility, and assessing joint-specific and health-related outcomes following surgery. Methods This is a multi-centre, prospective, longitudinal study between the Hospital for Special Surgery, New York City and Edinburgh Orthopaedics, Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, United Kingdom. Both centres are high-volume arthroplasty centres, specialising in upper and lower limb arthroplasty. Patients undergoing hip, knee or shoulder arthroplasty at either centres, and who report being golfers prior to arthroplasty will be included. Patient-reported outcome measures will obtained at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months. A one-year period of recruitment will be undertaken of arthroplasty patients at both sites. Conclusions The results of this prospective study will provide clinicians with accurate data to deliver to patients with regards to the likelihood of return to golf and timing of when they can expect to return to golf following their hip, knee or shoulder arthroplasty, as well as their joint-specific functional outcomes. This will help patients to manage their postoperative expectations and plan their postoperative recovery pathway.
The GOLF study is a multicenter, prospective study with the goal to investigate golfers' return to the sport following hip, knee or shoulder arthroplasty. The prevalence of return to golf, by level of returning to golf will be assessed at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months postoperatively. Patients who are active golfers undergoing joint replacement will be identified from outpatient clinics and pre-assessment clinics and given information about the study at least two weeks prior to surgery. Participants in this study must have a desire to return to golf after surgery. Previous studies have only been able to report the return to golf after arthroplasty retrospectively; the prospective nature of this study will allow for a greater understanding of this process.
The hip prosthesis market is constantly growing with the number of prostheses reaching 949,000 in 2019. Along with this, there is also an increase in interest in short stems also called shortened stems. Thus on Pubmed, in 5 years, 171 publications have been listed. Thus, it seems interesting to study and analyze the performance of the shortened stem used in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology of the University Hospitals of Strasbourg and to compare them with the results of the literature.
Reducing the occurrence of anemia (low circulating hemoglobin levels) post-surgery has been associated with improved outcome, as it reduces complications and allows for faster return to pre-operative function. Post-operative hemoglobin level is dependent upon its pre-operative value (for a given amount of blood loss). About 17% of patients at the Ottawa Hospital (TOH), will be anemic pre-operatively, and if left untreated the patients will have significantly inferior outcomes compared to non-anemic patients. In order to improve outcomes, when a patient is identified as anemic, typically at the pre-operative assessment clinic, he/she is invited to be reviewed and optimized at the Pre-operative Blood Optimization Clinic (PBOC). However, only a quarter of anemic patients are seen in the PBOC due to the lack of time available between anemia identification and surgery and the current resources available. This project will focus on hemoglobin level optimization of pre-operative hip and knee, primary, arthroplasty patients to demonstrate whether early assessment and treatment of pre-operative anemia can be successfully integrated into practice and its impact on post-operative outcomes. Patients will be randomly assigned to either the current standard of care pathway with an anemia test at the pre-operative assessment clinic (2-4 weeks before surgery), at which time they have the option to seek treatment. Patients who are randomly selected to be in the experimental group, will undergo a test to detect anemia at the time they consent for surgery, which is usually 4-6 months prior to surgery. Patients with anemia, will be invited for treatment at the blood optimization clinic at this time. In doing so, this project will test whether timely identification and simple measures is feasible and whether such practice can reduce the overall anemia burden and ultimately improve patient outcome.
The investigators are going to observe the appearance of low back pain in patients who have undergone hip prosthesis surgery.
EOSedge is a precise, low dose imaging system that delivers full body, high-quality images covering the full set of musculoskeletal and orthopedic exams. The objective of the study is to evaluate the quality of the focused pelvis/hip X-ray images on EOSedge compared to those performed on DR (current practice) to perform a preoperative radiographic evaluation of hip implant, A sufficient image quality on focused X-ray images performed on EOSedge would allow (1) to avoid the passage on two different radiographic systems (saving time) (2) to reduce the patient's x-ray radiation dose
