Filter by:Pain management in pediatric patients presents a difficult challenge. Unlike adults, pediatric patients often cannot communicate their pain management needs clearly. Adequate pain control after surgery is pivotal for these patients in order to prevent negative physiologic and psychologic complications and to improve surgical outcomes. There is an ongoing shift away from the use of opioids in the post-operative setting due to both their negative side effects and their high potential for dependence and abuse. A variety of new techniques of multimodal pain management have been developed and utilized in elective orthopaedic procedures. Injection of local anesthetics is becoming a widely popular technique utilized in adult arthroplasty. This technique blocks pain directly at the site of injection, and therefore can improve post-operative pain while minimizing side effects. Evidence has demonstrated this technique to be both safe and effective, resulting in reduced opioid consumption post-operatively. However, this technique has not been studied for use in pediatric patients, a population in which reduced narcotic use is equally, if not more important than in adult patients. This study is a prospective, randomized controlled trial with 2 parallel arms. The goal of this study is to assess the efficacy of a surgical-site pain injection administered in pediatric patients with cerebral palsy undergoing major hip surgery. Patients who are scheduled to undergo surgery will be randomized to either intervention (injection of a pain cocktail) or placebo (injection of normal saline). The pain cocktail includes three medications: ropivacaine (a local anesthetic), ketorolac (an anti-inflammatory medication), and epinephrine (a medication to constrict blood vessels and increase the duration of action of any co-administered medications). A surgeon who is blinded to treatment group will administer the injection at the end of the procedure, prior to the patient waking from anesthesia. The injection is in addition to our typical multi-modal pain control protocol, which includes epidural anesthesia, acetaminophen, anti-inflammatories, oral narcotics and anti-spasmodic agents. Patients will then be monitored post-operatively and pain medication consumption (both while in the hospital post-operatively and for the first two weeks following discharge), patient-reported and/or nurse-recorded pain scores, length of hospital stay, and adverse effects will be recorded. At the first post-operative visit, patients' parents will be asked to complete a survey designed to assess parent satisfaction with their child's pain management after surgery. Patients, parents, and surgeons will be blinded to treatment group allocation. Data will be collected while the patient is in the hospital, after surgery (average duration 3-4 days), and at the first post-operative visit two to three weeks after surgery.
Psychosocial conditions are common in young adults with hip pain including depression, anxiety, pain catastrophizing, and narcotic use. The incidence of these conditions is not well defined. Interventions to optimize psychosocial conditions with non-surgical or surgical treatments has not been investigated. The goal of this project is to determine the incidence of psychosocial conditions in the young adult population with hip pain and determine if cognitive based therapy can improve clinical outcomes in these individuals.
The primary aim of this study is to examine if Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO) followed by 4 months of usual care followed by 8 months of progressive resistance training (PRT) is superior to 12 months of a PRT intervention in patients with hip dysplasia eligible for PAO in terms of self-reported pain on the HAGOS questionnaire. Secondary aims are to investigate changes in patient-reported symptoms, physical function in daily living, physical function in sport and recreation, hip and/or groin-related quality of life, generic health status, functional performance, muscle strength, physical activity and adverse events between PAO followed by usual care+PRT compared to PRT only. We hypothesise that in patients with hip dysplasia, PAO followed by usual care+PRT, results in significantly less pain at 12 months follow-up, compared to PRT only.
This is an investigator-initiated, Danish mono-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel group, double-blind, superiority trial of dexamethasone on postoperative pain management on patients undergoing operation for hip dysplasia with the periacetabular osteotomy procedure (PAO). 90 adults undergoing PAO will be enrolled. The primary outcome is to compare the effect of dexamethasone relative to placebo on cumulated postoperative morphine consumption at 48 hours. Key secondary outcomes include comparing the effect of repeated doses of dexamethasone relative to a single dose on cumulated postoperative morphine consumption at 48 hours, and to determine if dexamethasone is superior to placebo for: Perception of pain intensity, prevalence and degree of postoperative nausea and vomiting, and patient-reported outcome measures.
Hip dysplasia is a complex problem that exists on a spectrum from mild to severe disease. Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) remains the gold standard for most patients with dysplasia; however, the procedure is quite invasive making the decision to proceed in cases of mild disease difficult. Hip arthroscopy (HA) is an alternative minimally invasive technique that can be used to address mild dysplasia. Nevertheless, HA has less capability for correction and in rare instances can exacerbate instability in the dysplastic hip. There is a paucity of data examining outcomes between these two treatment strategies for this challenging problem.
At present, it is not clear whether performing a hip arthroscopy at the same time as a PAO improves patient outcomes after surgery compared to a PAO alone. This research project will randomize patients to receive either a PAO alone, or a PAO and a hip arthroscopy at the same time.
This is a prospective, non-randomized, consecutive series, multicentre, observational study to evaluate the clinical outcome of ceramic-on- ceramic hip resurfacing arthroplasty using the ceramic, non-porous, non-cemented H1 Hip Resurfacing Arthroplasty. It includes a safety study followed by an efficacy study. Patients will be followed up for 10-years postoperatively. The primary aim is to confirm the safety of the H1 hip resurfacing prosthesis by demonstrating non-inferiority of the H1 device in terms of survivorship. The secondary is to evaluate superiority of the ceramic-on-ceramic H1 hip resurfacing prosthesis compared to Metal-on-Metal (MoM) hip resurfacing in terms of absence of metal ion release.The primary end point is revision for any reason.
Closed reduction is where the thigh bone is placed into the socket without any surgical incision being made. This is more likely to be performed in a child under the age of four year. The femoral head is gently manipulated into the socket, whilst the child is under anaesthetic. Once the femoral head is in place, a hip Spica is applied and can remain in place for up to three months to maintain the hip in the correct position. This allows time for healing and for the socket and the thigh bone to mould together as a joint. The purpose of this study was to identify and evaluate risk factors of avascular necrosis (AVN) after closed treatment for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). assessed according to Salter's classification system.
The study will assess the outcomes of patients treated with concomitant hip arthroscopy at the time of periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) for patients with hip dysplasia compared with patients treated with PAO alone.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a single preoperative high-dose steroid injection on complications in the immediate postoperative phase after periacetabular osteotomy. Primary outcome is the proportion of patients who have moderate to severe postoperative pain in the post anaesthesia care unit. Secondary outcomes are organspecific complications in the post anaesthesia phase, pain and nausea the first 5 days, wound infection and readmissions the first 30 days after surgery. The investigators hypothesize that the frequency of moderate to severe pain and organspecific complications in the post anaesthesia care unit will be lower among patients receiving high dose dexamethasone. The investigators hypothesize, that there will be no difference in wound infections or readmissions.
