Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of increasing doses of tranexamic acid (TXA) on limiting blood loss during total knee and total hip arthroplasty as defined by a change in hemoglobin from pre-operative baseline to the first post-operative day.
The goal of this retrospective chart review is to evaluate if the implementation of lumbar plexus block placement for postoperative pain have improved conditions in the postoperative period for patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty when compared to the placement of epidurals for postoperative pain management.
The aim of this project is to investigate prosthesis fixation in the bone, respectively cemented and uncemented operation method of Avantage® dual-mobility acetabular cup in elderly patients, wear of the plastic in dual-mobility hip prosthesis and evaluate the clinical function, patient satisfaction and possible complications. Patients included in this study suffer from osteoarthritis of the hip.
The objective is to evaluate the implant survival rate for patients implanted with a PINNACLE® ULTAMET™ Metal-on-Metal implant for conventional total hip arthroplasty for the treatment of a severe hip disease and true femoral cervical fracture.
The primary objectives of this clinical study include: - Assess the rate of dislocation and fracture of THA using the new (the 4th generation) ceramic implants. - Evaluate the survival rate of THA using the new alumina-zirconia (the 4th generation) composite ceramic bearing. - Investigate the performance of the 4th generation ceramic implants mostly in patients younger than 50 years. - Compare the preoperative and postoperative scores of Harris Hip Score, UCLA Activity Score and WOMAC.
The randomised controlled trial will be carried out on patients that require a total hip replacement (THR) to reduce pain and restore their function. One way of fixing the hip joint to the bone is by coating the implant to encourage the body to grow bone onto the replacement hip. This study is aiming to find out whether the new (Bonemaster) coating allows increased bony growth onto the cup when compared to the usual (plasma-sprayed) coating. This may reduce the incidence of early failures due to poor bony attachment, which is a well known complication for early failure of total hip replacements. The study will compare two different types of coating (BoneMaster and Plasma-sprayed) on the cup of the replacement hip. Density of the bone immediately surrounding the cup will be observed to see if there are differences between the two groups. The density of bone will be measured using standard x−ray assessment and in a smaller sample of 14 patients, using a special scan called Dual Energy X−ray Absorptiometry (DEXA Scan). Functional comparisons will be assessed through clinical scores.
