Filter by:This is a single-center single-arm clinical trial with a paired design which compares the effectiveness of 3T MRI with (modified) and without (standard) radiofrequency pulse polarization optimization in reducing metal-related artifacts in patients with hip arthroplasty implants.
In order to continue progressing towards outpatient total hip arthroplasty (THA), methods to adequately manage postoperative pain is of paramount importance. The purpose of this study is to quantify the effectiveness of the pericapsular nerve block in total hip arthroplasty in comparison to the fascia iliaca nerve block.
The main objective of the study is to assess whether the performance of type 2 quadratus lumborum block produces an improvement in the quality of life of the patient with osteoarthritis of the hip.
Total hip arthroplasty is a method of choice for treating advanced osteoarthritis of the hip and one of the most frequent orthopedic procedures. Of all hip surgical approaches described, the tendency for minimally invasive techniques has been dominated over the last few years due to faster patient mobilization, reduced postoperative pain and need for blood transfusion. Two of the most common approaches used for minimally invasive total hip arthroplasty are: AMIS anterior approach and mini-posterior approach, which is a modification of the standard posterior approach. The purpose of this study is the biochemical, imaging and clinical evaluation of the tissue damage caused by the above-mentioned techniques of minimally invasive total hip arthroplasty.
Vitamin D status has been shown to have an effect on post-operative outcomes in total joint arthroplasty. The goal of this study is to determine if pre-operative supplementation and correction of Vitamin D deficiency can reduce postoperative complications.
Background - In the 19th century, Sir John Charnley successfully introduced total joint replacements for hips. In order to prevent implant fixation failure and accelerated polyethylene wear, it was initially recommended that implants were systematically positioned in a "biomechanically-friendly" way, which disregarded most of the individual anatomy (medialized acetabular cup, systematized cup version and inclination, etc.) - While those initial surgical techniques made popular and clinically successful total joint replacements, many complications (aseptic loosening, pain, excessive wear) have remained and mainly the persistence of frequent instability after THA. In response to those complications, many improvements were developed in the area of joint replacement over the last few decades, with one the most recent dating from 2017 and being the development of a surgical technique Rationale - The kinematic alignment (KA) technique for total hip arthroplasty (THA) aims at restoring the acetabular center of rotation and as much as possible the constitutional acetabular anteversion by using the transverse acetabular ligament (TAL) as a reference landmark. Also, the technique aims (1) at making personalized choice for the hip component design, (2) at defining the cup positioning, and (3) at sometimes considering additional spine surgery based on the assessment of the individual spine-hip relation. - KA techniques for hip replacements are relatively new, likely to become popular over time, and their true value remains to be determined.
