The goal of this clinical trial is to prospectively assess the efficacy of the BLOOM program, a comprehensive weight loss dietary and lifestyle program, in a population of patients living with obesity and awaiting hip or knee surgery. The main questions it seeks to answer are: 1. Can the BLOOM program support these patients to lose up to 10% of their initial body weight? 2. Will patients continue to lose weight for the next six months after completing the program? 3. Does the BLOOM program help patients to improve their overall quality of life? Study participants will undergo the BLOOM program, a virtual pre-operative weight management program that spans 24 weeks and is carefully supervised by medical professionals. They will be recruited at the LEAF Clinic after being referred by their primary care physician. During the BLOOM program, they will meet with a physician (initially, then once monthly) and a dietitian (initially, and then biweekly as part of virtual group coaching). They will have access to LEAF's online learning portal. These are normal elements of the BLOOM program. Furthermore, as part of their participation in the research study, participants will be asked to complete the following questionnaires: the Mediterranean dietary score, the Oxford Hip and Knee Questionnaire and the EQ-D5-5L quality of life assessment. They will complete these initially, and then at completion of the program and 3 and 6 months post-program. We will also collect their height and weight at these intervals.
measure the level of patient satisfaction after THA at the arthroplasty unit of Assiut University Hospital.
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.
There is a lack of effective analgesic treatments to help walking patients with painful hip/knee osteoarthritis. Our team therefore imagined a new strategy lying on a multimodal rehabilitation walking program with the help of a transient intake of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). NSAIDs are indeed known to act specifically on pain at movement, but their continuous intake would induce unacceptable side effects. To optimize the benefit/risk balance, the molecule to be chosen must fit to the patient's profile, and its intake should cover only the period of interest, i.e. planned walks. Our multimodal rehabilitation program will also include physical techniques such as appropriate footwear, a patient's education aiming at reducing fear/avoidance and spotting side effects of NSAIDs, and a prescription frame to avoid any overdosing. This clinical study is a single-center, non-randomized, open label, one-arm trial, using drugs prescribed according to their label (i.e. osteoarthritis pain), pending a reinforced monitoring of side effects. The primary endpoint is to evaluate efficacy and tolerance of a tailored and transient administration of NSAID within a rehabilitation walking program in patients with painful hip/knee osteoarthritis. Secondary endpoints are to evaluate the adherence to the program and the factors influencing adherence; to identify the less well tolerated conditions of treatment (one condition being one molecule for one patient profile); to identify the factors of success among a set of baseline demographic, morphometric and psychometric variables; and to study the role of central sensitization (assessed by temporal summation) on the efficacy of treatment.
In this work the investigators will study the relationship between chronic musculoskeletal pain and abnormal blood flow (neovascularity) around the shoulder, hip and knee. Veterans with as history of chronic shoulder, hip or knee pain and mild/moderate joint degenerative changes will be potential study subjects. Blood flow around joints will be evaluated using perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Participants with demonstrably abnormal blood flow around their painful joint will be eligible for enrollment in a pilot study of joint embolization to treat their pain. Participants who choose to not undergo treatment will be re-assessed with MRI after one year to characterize the natural history of joint neovascularity and its relationship to pain.
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.
This study is a Prospective, Multicenter, Single-Arm, Cohort post-market study to evaluate the accuracy of acetabular implant position using the robotic-arm surgical assistant (ROSA® Hip System).
The purpose of the study is
Accurate reconstruction of the native hip parameters following total hip arthroplasty is associated with improved outcome. In order to improve ability for optimum reconstruction, 3-D templating software can be utilized that provide detailed information regarding native anatomy. In order to achieve reconstruction within acceptable parameters as per pre-operative plan, some surgeons propose the use of intra-operative devices that measure component orientation and joint reconstruction ("Measured-THA"), whilst others propose the use of navigation tools ("Navigation-THA). Both techniques have shown superiority compared to the most commonly used "freehand" technique, but no prior study has assessed for superiority between these 2 techniques. Furthermore, to-date assessment of post-operative reconstruction has not been tested in detail as post-THA assessments are based on radiographs which provide incomplete, 2-dimensional, assessments and are lacking the important axial plane reconstruction parameters. The aims of this prospective, randomized, trial are to 1. appraise the ability to achieve the pre-operative 3-D plan (as per FormusLab) through a comparison of pre-op plan to post-operative reconstruction; 2. compare ability to accurately reconstruct hip following THA between "navigated-" (IntelliJoint®) and "measured-" techniques; and in doing so it will also 3. assess the accuracy of the intra-operative assessments of reconstruction through a comparison of objective (i.e. measured) intra-operative assessments with the post-operative reconstructions achieved.
