Filter by:Osteoarthritis is a chronic joint disease that lacks curative therapy. Epidemiological studies show increase in the burden of disease. Total joint arthroplasty is one of the best treatment options for end-stage osteoarthritis. However, the specific effects of total joint arthroplasty on cardiovascular risk and metabolic profile are largely unknown. The aim of this project is to elucidate how hip and knee total joint arthroplasty impacts cardiovascular risk and metabolomic profile in comparison with general population. We hypothesize that arthroplasty decreases pain, systemic inflammation levels and increases functional status that all lead to decreased metabolic and cardiovascular risk.
This is an open-label study to compare systemic exposure to triamcinolone acetonide following a dose of extended-release FX006 or immediate-release TAcs (triamcinolone acetonide suspension) in patients with osteoarthritis of the shoulder (glenohumeral joint) or hip
The purpose of this study is to identify differences in satisfaction, pain and length of stay between patients undergoing hip replacement who are discharged from the hospital on the day of surgery compared to patients who stay one night in the hospital.
In total hip arthroplasty (THA), radiographic preoperative planning and postoperative evaluation of acetabular component, femoral offset (FO) and leg length discrepancy (LLD) require good validity, interobserver reliability and intraobserver reproducibility. Questions/purposes: (1) Evaluate the validity of the Sundsvall method of FO measurement by comparing it to a standard FO measurement method. (2) Evaluate the interobserver reliability and intraobserver reproducibility of measurement of FO, LLD, acetabular cup inclination and anteversion. 90 patients with primary unilateral osteoarthritis (OA) were included in this prospective study. On postoperative radiographs FO by the Sundsvall method, FO by a standard method, LLD, acetabular cup inclination and anteversion were measured. The interobserver reliability and intraobserver reproducibility were made by three independent observers. The validity and degree of prediction of Sundsvall method are measured by comparing its results with the standard method.
The purpose of this study is to compare the short term effectiveness and return to function of subjects undergoing primary Total Hip Arthroplasty using an Anterior Approach (incision on the front part of the hip joint) versus Posterior Approach (incision over back part of the hip joint).
New anticoagulants are being introduced to replace warfarin. These drugs do not require monitoring and are safer. There is currently no recommended way to reverse these drugs rapidly in the event of undue bleeding or need for emergency surgery. This is a lab study to look at ways to reverse the drugs rapidly
The purpose of this study is to analyze stability, safety and efficacy of the Metaphyseal Hip Prosthesis (MHP) compared to the Stanmore hip replacement.
