Filter by:One of the typical complications which occurs after total hip replacement (THR) procedure is heterotopic ossification (HO). According to current studies abnormal formation of bone after trauma or replacement of the hip could reach even 90% of cases. Heterotopic ossifications are causing the following symptoms, such as: pain, swelling, erythema and warmth along with joint immobility. Those factors could have an impact on maintaining the posture, especially in patients after THR. It is well known since the 90s that the risk of fall among the population older than 65 is high. Data shows that over 30% of those people have such an incident at least once in a year. Majority of them do not have further consequences, however about 10% result in serious trauma to the head and musculoskeletal system. Falls of people who underwent THR are sometimes connected with periprosthetic fractures, which treatment is much more complicated and is associated with a higher risk of failure than treatment of ordinary fractures of the lower limb. What may even worsen the situation is that elderly people very often suffer from many diseases including osteoporosis or neoplasm which increase the risk of fracture. The rate of falls is even higher among patients hospitalised from hip fractures. In the first month after returning home about 14% of patients fall. During the 6 month period after hospitalisation it reaches 53%. So far, the influence of heterotopic ossifications on the risk of falls is unknown in the literature.
Total hip arthroplasty is the preferred treatment for hip disease (primary or secondary osteoarthritis, osteonecrosis, for example) and femoral neck fractures. Revision risk factors reported when considering the main surgical approaches. Studied from the Dutch arthroplasty registry found a revision rate in hemiarthroplasty (HA) of 1.6% at 1 year and 2.5% at 5 years postoperatively. For total hip replacement (THA), the rate was 2.4% at 1 and 4.3% at 5 years postoperatively. Analyze shows that the risk factors for hemiarthroplasty were male sex, age under 80 (regardless of gender), posterolateral approach and uncemented fixation. The risk factors for HAT were exactly the same, but they found that smoking also played a role. It should be noted that age as a risk factor for revision is not a risk during the first year after the fracture, but becomes one in the years that follow. In order to maintain compliance with the directive on medical devices (93/42 / EEC [M5]) and the future regulation (EU) (2017/745) relating to medical devices, SERF has set up post-market clinical follow-ups ( PMCF). This PMCF study aims to improve knowledge related to the performance, safety and benefit / risk ratio of the Sagitta EVL-R stem and to monitor patient care strategy through this clinical evaluation. Significant clinical results as well as safety must be confirmed with this patient cohort. It is important to note that this cohort reflects the specific care strategy of the University Hospital of Poitiers. Therefore, the strategy could be different between hospitals and countries.
The SuperPATH approach is a minimally invasive approach for total hip arthroplasty. This project randomized patients to the SuperPath versus posterior approach. Outcomes examined included functional, VAS pain, narcotic utilization, perioperative outcomes, and radiographic component positions. Participants were followed for 2 years. The aim was to examine if the SuperPATH approach provided significant advantages over the posterior approach on functional testing or return to work for patients.
Surgical interventions are not only a physiological trauma, but also a psychological and social trauma because they cause deterioration of the individual's comfort. Comfort is among the most basic human needs and provides a better care output. One of the conditions that cause deterioration of comfort and anxiety in patients is hunger and thirst before surgery. Since 1994, several guides published by professional groups in many countries on pre-operative fasting periods have published that clear liquids can be taken up to 2 hours before the surgery in elective surgeries, and solid foods can be taken up to 6 hours before the surgery. One of the basic principles of ERAS protocols, which include evidence-based care interventions applied at all stages of the surgical process, for the preoperative period is to ensure that the patient takes a carbohydrate drink up to two hours before anesthesia and to shorten the long fasting period. In many countries, the problems experienced by patients as a result of long-term hunger have been identified. When the comfort status of the patients who were given carbohydrate-rich drinks before the surgery was examined, it was observed that the symptoms such as thirst, hunger, insufficiency, fatigue, nausea, pain, anxiety and depression were reduced and oral carbohydrate solutions were recommended. In the literature, it is stated that the prolongation of the fasting period causes an increase in the anxiety of the person and negatively affects his comfort, and it is recommended to drink 800 ml of carbohydrate liquid food until midnight the day before the surgery and 400 ml of liquid carbohydrate food 2-3 hours before the surgery in order to provide metabolic satiety. The nurse, who is one of the health workers responsible for the care of the patient, has to manage the restriction of oral food and liquid intake and the comfort of the patient in the best way before the operation. Accordingly, in our study, the answers were sought whether the oral carbohydrate solution given before hip arthroplasty had an effect on anxiety and patient comfort.
90 patients ASA I-III, undergoing Total hip arthroplasty (THA) under spinal anesthesia, will be randomly assigned into one of three groups, namely group A (n=30), where an PENG block, group B (N:30) where an inra-articuler, and group C (n=30) where Quadratus lumborum block will be performed preoperatively. All patients will receive a standardized postoperative analgesia regimen. NRS scores will be evaluated in static and dynamic conditions during the first 48 hours postoperatively.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the care of patients undergoing hip or knee replacement for osteoarthritis remains a clinical priority. To date, there is limited empirical knowledge about the impact of pandemic on the care of patients surgically treated for orthopaedic diseases, affected or not by COVID-19. The aim of the present study is to describe and investigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the nursing-sensitive and rehabilitation outcomes of patients undergoing hip and knee replacement.
Randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of oral iron supplementation plus cofactors in reducing the prevalence of preoperative anemia in a cohort of 60 patients undergoing elective prosthetic hip or knee surgery.
Gluteus maximus transfer following THA does not improve abductor strength - a case-control gait analysis study of 15 patients with gluteus medius disruption The investigators have compared 15 gluteus maximus transferred patients with the use of a gait analysis system based on reflective markers and force plates to objectively evaluate the gait performance pre- and postoperatively.
This study analyze the effect of Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) Block combined to wound infiltration for analgesia after elective hip replacement. Half of participants will receive a PENG Block combined with wound infiltration, while the other half will receive wound infiltration alone.
Controlling pain after hip replacement surgery improves comfort and partient satisfaction. Pain after hip replacement has traditionally been managed using systemic pain medications including acetaminophen and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. A recent Cochrane review demonstrated that compared to systemic analgesia alone, peripheral nerve blocks reduce postoperative pain with moderate-quality evidence. Pericapsular Nerve Group block is a new technique allowing local anesthetic diffusion to femoral, obturator and accessory obturator nerves and providing a good analgesic effect for hip fracture surgery. Investigators hypothesized that the PENG block could be an interesting alternative to systemic analgesiscs for pain control after total hip replacement.
