Filter by:Abstract Background: The effect of intra-articular treatment of hip osteoarthritis with hyaluronic acid in the hip joint is not based on large randomized controlled trials. Hyaluronic acid is a well established treatment for osteoarthritis of the knee. Methods: Randomized controlled trial with three-armed parallel-group design. The patients meeting the inclusion criteria will be randomized into one of the following groups: infiltration of the hip joint with hyaluronic acid, with corticosteroids or with bupivacaine 0,125%. Pain VAS, Harris Hip Score and HOOS were scored during follow-up. The patients will be asked to determine their situation as worse, stabile or better then at the time of enrollment. There will be asked if they use painkillers and if they have complications/adverse events. These outcome measure instruments will be used at the time of enrollment in the study prior to any injection, and then again at six weeks, 3 and 6 months after the initial injection. The six-month follow-up period begins for all patients on the date the first injection will be administered.
Research with DXA has shown the pattern of bone remodelling around an implant. The baseline and reference value for such calculations is the first measurement after the operation. The baseline measurement is performed at different time from study to study. If there is a rapid bone loss the first weeks after an operation, this will influence the reference value and then the results. To evaluate DXA as a method we decided to set up a study with 3 DXA measurements within the first 2 weeks. Our hypothesis is that there is a rapid bone loss the first 2 weeks after operation and that timing of the first post operative measurement will influence the later results.
Hypothesis: Migration of C-Stem AMT is equal to the well documented Exeter prosthesis In Norway it is annually performed approximately 600 primary and 100 revisions THA. Osteolysis around the prosthesis is one of the major difficulties while performing revision surgery. C-stem is a triple tapered cemented prosthesis designed to increase the stress and strain of proximal femur and thereby decreasing osteolysis. We are planning til include 70 patients and randomize to C-stem AMT or Exeter prosthesis. Both prosthesis will be combined with previously non documented "Marathon" acetabular prosthesis. The result will be followed clinically and with RSA and DXA. Soft endpoint after 2 years
This is a prospective, randomized study comparing two different bone preparation techniques for insertion of a hydroxylapatite (HA) coated titanium cementless femoral stem. Patients who receive a unilateral total hip replacement are randomized to either conventional broaching or compaction. Hypothesis: Compaction results in significantly less stem migration [evaluated by radiostereometric analysis (RSA)], less peri-prosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) loss [evaluated by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)], and a higher Harris hip score after two years.

Zink and bone strength
This study was designed to investigate the influence of HA-coating on bone remodeling around the cup in cementless THA. 100 patients gave informed consent to participate in a controlled randomized study between porous coated Trilogy® versus Trilogy Calcicoat®. The cup was inserted in press-fit fixation. The femoral component was a cementless porous coated titanium alloy stem (Bi-Metric®), with a modular 28 mm CrCo head. Effect parameters were Harris Hip Score (HHS) and Bone Mineral Density (BMD) determined by DEXA scanning. Measurements revealed no difference between the two groups after 3 years, neither in clinical outcome nor in terms of periprosthetic bone density. Patients with Body Mass Index above normal regained more bone mineral than patients with normal weight. This finding supports the assumption that load is beneficial to bone remodeling. Advantages of better sealing of the bone-prosthesis interface, preventing polyethylene induced osteolysis, may still be anticipated for the 7 or 12 year follow-up examinations
