Filter by: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.
Total hip and knee arthroplasty are among the most common surgical procedures for which blood transfusion is prescribed. Patient blood management program has been proposed to decrease the need for transfusion. This program involve three pillars: preoperative improvement of erythropoiesis, intraoperative reduction of bleeding and postoperative management of anemia. Among the different steps of this program, reduction of bleeding and optimization of anemia are gaining popularity, but preoperative improvement of erythropoiesis is underused. The preoperative step of the blood management program is not systematically used because it requires a complex organization, is considered expensive, and finally because the others available techniques to reduce blood transfusion are easier to implement. The aim of this study was to assess, within a patient blood management program, the effectiveness of erythropoietin on reducing allogenic blood transfusion and anemia in patients requiring elective total hip or knee arthroplasty.

Multimodal pain management is essential for recovery after surgery, aiming to target different pain mechanisms to minimize opioid usage and opioid-related adverse effects. Evidence for benefits and harms of various non-opioid analgesic combinations is, however, nearly non-existing, and large-scale trials are urgently needed. Recently, the investigators have demonstrated that combining paracetamol and ibuprofen is superior to each single drug when assessing pain after hip replacement. Further improvement is needed, investigating additional non-opioid analgesics to this combination. Glucocorticoids have anti-emetic and analgesic properties, but evidence for analgesic efficacy in combination with paracetamol and ibuprofen is lacking. The RECIPE trial is an investigator-initiated randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel, 4-group, blinded multicentre trial with 90-day follow-up investigating benefits and harms of different combinations of paracetamol, ibuprofen, and dexamethasone for patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. The primary outcome is total use of IV morphine 0-24 hours postoperatively. Secondary outcomes are pain (upon mobilisation, at rest, and during 5 m walk), and adverse events. Exploratory outcomes include quality of sleep, opioid-related adverse effects, serious adverse events (< 90 days), and patient reported disability score and quality of life (at 90 days). Based on sample-size calculations, 1060 patients are needed to detect a minimal clinically important difference in 24-hour morphine consumption of 8 mg, using a familywise type 1 error rate of 0.05 and a type 2 error rate of 0.2. The primary analyses will be based on the intention to treat population. More than six Danish university- and regional hospitals will participate in the trial. With this trial the investigators expect to lay the foundation for the best postoperative multimodal analgesic regimen for both total hip arthroplasty and possibly other surgeries, thereby facilitating recovery for millions of future surgical patients worldwide.
