Filter by:This study will pilot the use of 3D printed models of the hip, for use in pre-operative planning and patient communication to improve clinical outcomes and patient engagement. This method will be implemented in the setting of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), with the goal of identifying and measuring specific anatomical pathologies and impingement (range of motion) risks, to communicate a pre-operative plan to both the surgical team, and the patient.
A total of 63 participants will be recruited through 3 local surgeons in Durham, North Carolina after distinctive differential diagnostic methods, all with extensive expertise in intra-articular hip pathology and arthroscopy. The surgeons will offer the opportunity to participate in the trial by providing information to the recipient. Potential participants that do not contact project team members will be contacted by phone if they do not respond to the initial invitation. Potential participants will be initially screened by telephone interview, followed by a clinical examination to confirm study eligibility. The blinded researchers will obtain informed consent and will perform outcome assessments Purpose of the Study: 1) measure the mediating effect of baseline patient expectations on fulfillment of expectations (for both conservative care and surgery, measured at 6 weeks and at 1 year respectively) in a cohort of patients with a diagnosis of FAI Syndrome who receive six weeks of conservative physical therapy intervention and 2) measure the effect of baseline expectations on patient reported outcomes (e.g., HAGOS, pain, global rating of change) at six weeks.
The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical response of intra-articular platelet rich plasma (PRP) versus corticosteroid injection in patients affected by femoroacetabular impingement (FAI).
