View clinical trials related to Arthroplasty, Hip Replacement.
Filter by:Hip and knee replacements are indicated to improve long-term quality of life and pain. These long-term results may depend on the quality of the initial postoperative recovery. However, early postoperative health status after total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is not accurately described. Through this retrospective study, the investigators wanted to describe the perioperative state of health monitored using the QoR-15 questionnaire for THA and TKA patients from the perioperative moment to postoperative day 28.
This study is looking at the impact of giving patients precautions, or restrictions for movement, when undergoing a total hip replacement. Have of the participants will receive precautions, while the other half will not receive any precautions.
This study will assess the efficacy of two of the most commonly used surgical skin-preparation solutions: Chloraprep (chlorhexidine-alcohol) and Duraprep (iodine-alcohol) at eliminating bacteria from the hip site by evaluating the residual bacteria present following surgical skin-preparation.
The purpose of this study is to determine if intravenous acetaminophen is superior to oral acetaminophen when used as part of a multimodal pathway for primary total hip arthroplasty.
The aim of this pilot study was to investigate whether the use of a multimodal protocol of preoperative care plus preoperative immune nutrition would decrease the length of stay and acute phase inflammation in patients submitted to total hip arthroplasty (THA). The study was designed to be randomized and controlled, but not double blind. The patients were randomized to receive either preoperative care based on evidence plus immune nutrition for 5 days prior to surgery (Acerto group) or traditional preoperative care (control group). Main endpoints were length of stay and acute-phase postoperative response
Postoperative Cognitive Disorders (POCD) are common in hospitalized people > 60 year old, especially in orthopedic patients. Etiology of POCD is complex, and in some aspects still remains unclear. The role of thromboembolic events in etiology of POCD was discussed. The incidence of such events in patients who underwent big joints arthroplasty can be as high as 40 to 60%, although some cases are subclinical. Thromboembolic material can block a blood flow through a vessels in the brain. As a consequence cerebral neurons can be damaged or destroyed. After neuronal damage specific substances, such as S100B protein, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) are released to the blood. The serum concentrations of these biomarkers can be measured. Moreover, the block of blood flow will decrease regional cerebral saturation in affected parts of the brain. In this project the authors would like to analyze the correlation between the regional cerebral saturation and serum concentration of both S100B protein and GFAP in orthopedic patients scheduled to primary hip arthroplasty.
This study is a prospective, single-center, postmarket clinical observation to observe the clinical and radiographic long-term performance of the SBG hip stem.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the possible association between postoperative anaemia and functional outcomes the first 2 weeks after primary hip arthroplasty. The investigators hypothesise that patients with a higher degree of postoperative anaemia have impaired postoperative rehabilitation as measured by standardized functional outcome tests.
