Filter by:It is often observed that patients following hip surgery have a hard time with rehabilitation, as patients commonly lose muscle mass and strength around the surgical site. The goal of this study is to learn if giving patients testosterone around their hip surgery can prevent them from losing muscle mass, as well as to see if it will improve their outcomes after surgery. The main question this study aims to answer is: Will perioperative testosterone administration increase lean mass in addition to improving functional and clinical patient reported outcomes greater than placebo? Researchers will compare patients who were administered testosterone to standard of care (no administration of testosterone) to see if there is a difference in their recovery and outcomes. Participants will be given either testosterone or saline for eight weeks beginning two weeks prior to surgery. Participants will have to answer questionnaires on how they are doing, as well as will do other testing during this time.
To determine - The prevalence of abnormalities of femoral and acetabular versions and tibial torsion in symptomatic (FAI) Syndrome. - Analyse the subgroups of specific hip pathomorphologies associated with rotational abnormalities of lower limb (LL). - Which specific hip subtypes of (FAI) are associated with rotational abnormalities, - Outcomes of arthroscopic treatment of (FAI) syndrome in patients with rotational abnormalities compared with a control group of patients with normal rotation.
A common cause of hip joint pain in the young and active population is femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome. if FAI is left untreated, the changed morphology will have a negative effect on the existing joint and will contribute to the development of osteoarthritis (OA). Hip arthroscopy is the first choice of operative treatment for FAI. While hip arthroscopy improves the patient reported outcome measures (PROMs), the influence of this treatment on the contribution to the development of osteoarthritis after FAI is to the best of our knowledge still unknown.
This study aims to address hip labral tears and compare between arthroscopic labral repair versus debridement.
The orientation of the femoral neck in relation to the coronal or transcondylar axis of the distal femur is known as the femoral version. It is categorised as femoral anteversion when the femoral neck axis is anteriorly rotated in relation to transcondylar axis, while femoral head axis is anterior in relation to the femur coronal plane; or femoral retroversion when the femoral head-neck axis points are posterior to the femoral coronal plane. Some studies suggest that conventional radiography cannot adequately measure femoral version, and should be avoided in favour of more precise methods using computed tomography (CT) scanning. CT imaging is currently the reference method for measuring femoral version. However, its clinical use is limited by issues such as high levels of radiation exposure, which can adversely affect patients, especially children. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considered an alternative for measuring femoral version; however, it is expensive, time consuming and subject to motion artifacts. The associated costs and risks of MRI increase when anaesthesia is needed for the examination. The EOS imaging system could provide an alternative to the previously mentioned techniques. It uses lower doses of irradiation and the sterEOS software allows the production of 3D images. This study aims to compare the accuracy of the EOS imaging system with CT for the measurement of hip parameters in individuals aged 13 years and older. In addition, this study aims to correlate EOS and CT parameters with gait analysis and compare the ability of EOS and CT to predict gait abnormalities.
The main objective is to show that the upper acetabular anteversions calculated in standing, sitting, sitting hip in maximum flexion and supine positions are lower in patients with symptomatic DWI compared to healthy volunteers.
Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is a condition caused by an abnormal bone structure that causes the bones on either side of the hip joint to impinge on each other during certain movements, thus causing pain. This condition can be surgically treated with hip arthroscopy. For patients undergoing hip arthroscopy, there are currently two protocols related to how they may bear their weight after surgery: 1) Delayed Weightbearing: Patients use crutches and put very little weight on the surgical side. After 6 weeks, they are able to bear weight, 2) Immediate Weightbearing: Patients bear weight on the affected side, as tolerated, immediately after surgery with crutches for additional support. They are then permitted to stop using the crutches in the weeks after surgery as they feel comfortable and are stable on the operative leg. The purpose of this study is to determine whether immediate or delayed weightbearing protocols following hip arthroscopy impact patient outcomes and complication rates. Participants will be randomly allocated into one of the two aforementioned groups, and followed up for 2 years to assess function and patient-reported outcomes.
The aim of the study is to investigate the feasibility of a training intervention in patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS).
Hypothesis We hypothesise that hip muscle strength can predict the outcome of hip arthroscopy. A relationship between strength and outcome can improve the success of the procedure and avoid unnecessary and potentially harmful surgery. Objectives The primary objective is to evaluate the relationship between hip muscle strength and outcomes of hip arthroscopy. The secondary objective is to determine a 'threshold strength' above which the operation becomes successful. If this relationship is established, it would launching a randomised control trial with targeted physiotherapy as the intervention. Background Hip arthroscopy is key-hole surgery to the hip joint which is performed for femoroacetabular impingement; a condition which describes a shape mismatch between the ball-and-socket hip joint. The number of procedures is increasing, however, studies have shown success in only half of patients undergoing the procedure. Several factors have been linked with outcomes; however, the influence of muscle strength has never been investigated. We performed a systematic review of this topic, revealing that muscles around affected hips are significantly weaker. We also developed a standardised protocol for the measurement of muscle strength. Plan Patients awaiting hip arthroscopy will undergo muscle strength testing pre- and post-operatively. There will be no deviation of treatment from their NHS care. Validated outcome measure questionnaires will be completed at five months post-operatively. Magnetic resonance imaging and electromyography tests will be performed on a subset of patients post-operatively.
Hip Muscle Strength in femoro-acetabular impingement participants versus normal controls. To investigate the hip muscle strength in a normal control group and compare this to patients who have a diagnosis of femoro-acetabular impingement (diagnosed clinically and with confirmed radiological features).
