Filter by:Previous research has shown that the osteoarthritis care for persons with hip or knee osteoarthritis in Norway has a potential for improvement as the provided care may not necessarily reflect evidence-based guideline recommendations. This study will determine if a new model for integrated osteoarthritis (OA) care in primary health care will result in improved quality of osteoarthritis care and health benefits for the patients (reduced pain and body weight, increased function and activity level) among patients with hip and/or knee osteoarthritis. Further, this study will examine if the new model reduce the number of unnecessary referrals to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and to orthopaedic surgeons in secondary care, and if it increases the number of referrals to physiotherapy treatment and the number of discharge reports from the physiotherapists to the referring general practitioner.
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate a new method of applying hydroxyapatite coatings on cement-less femoral stems.
The objective of this study is to assess the changes in daily physical activity and gait pattern, following a viscosupplement injection among a population who is suffering from hip osteoarthritis. A kinetic and kinematic gait analysis, an Actigraph activity monitor, a functional Timed-Stair-Test and two questionnaires (Medical Outcome Study Short-Form36 (MOS-SF36), Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS)) about how the pathology affects the quality of life, will be use.
Pain and reduced function are the most common symptoms of coxarthritis. Pain relief and normal range of motion (ROM) restoration are the objectives of a Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) procedure. It is recognized that increased head-neck ratio results in increased ROM due to the fact that prosthetic impingement between neck and acetabular liner occurs with wider arcs of motion. This head-neck ratio has been investigated extensively only in vitro (on cadavers or sawbones) or using mathematical modeling in computer simulations. These studies are limited by the lack of soft tissues and muscle activations in the models. This study will clinically assess the effect of prosthetic head diameter on patient capability of performing movements which require extreme arcs of motion of the hip joint. Therefore, the research questions are: - What role do soft tissues play in limiting ROM? - Can prosthetic impingement really occur in a well positioned THA? - Can a bigger head diameter alone reduce the risk of impingement?
The investigators believe that the application of non-linear methods of analysis using the ganglion and neural network technique will make it possible to analyse all of the complex data obtained in patients with hip osteoarthritis before and then after total hip replacement, and should allow us to identify a combination of objective variables to classify the surgery as " successful " or " unsuccessful ". To this end, the study will take place as follows: Step 1: Screening, and inclusion. Step 2: Evaluation of the hip osteoarthritis and analysis of locomotor activity Step 3: Total hip replacement Step 4: Clinical evaluation of locomotor activity carried out between 6 months and 1 year after the THR Step 5: Data analysis
The aim of the present study is to explore the most efficient surgical approach in total hip replacement in short and long term when concerning strength, functionality and postoperative complications. The objective is to register muscular strength, hip joint functionality/mobilisation and complications after total hip arthroplasty (THA) performed by two minimal invasive/incision surgeries (MIS) versus the traditionally lateral approach. The primary working hypothesis is that due to a minimal dissection and reduced trauma in the muscles, patients will tolerate early hospital discharge better after MIS than after traditional lateral surgery. Patients in the MIS group will also be more active and maintain muscular strength and hip joint functionality/mobilisation better than patients in the lateral group.
This randomized clinical trial will evaluate the efficacy of an antiresorptive osteoporosis drug (denosumab) in prevention of periprosthetic bone loss and in promotion of implant osseointegration (bone bonding) in postmenopausal women after total hip replacement. The investigators assume that denosumab prevents periprosthetic bone loss and enhances bone bonding of the hip stem in postmenopausal women.
The objective of this study is to compare the clinical efficacy of intra-articular injections of autologous platelet rich plasma (PRP) vs hyaluronic acid (HA) for symptomatic early osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip. Secondarily, this study aims to determine the feasibility and safety of treating early OA of the hip with HA and PRP.
The aim of the present study is to explore the most efficient surgical approach in total hip replacement in short and long term when concerning strength, functionality and postoperative complications. The objective is to register muscular strength, hip joint functionality/mobilisation and complications after total hip arthroplasty (THA) performed by the direct lateral approach (DLA), the posterior approach (PA) and the anterior approach (AA). The latter is a modified Smith-Petersen approach which follows the principles of minimally invasive surgery (MIS). The primary working hypothesis is that due to a minimal dissection and reduced trauma in the muscles, patients will tolerate early hospital discharge better after the AA than the PA and the DLA. Patients in the AA group are also thought to be more active and maintain muscular strength and hip joint functionality/mobilisation better than patients in the lateral group.
Hip osteoarthritis is degeneration of hip cartilage and inflammation of subchondral bone and soft tissue linings. Patients have pain, stiffness, swelling, and difficulty walking. There are treatments available to help manage these symptoms like weight loss, and analgesics. Surgery is the appropriate treatment in patients who have failed these conservative treatments. The aim of this clinical study is to assess safety of autologous cultured chondrocyte intra-articular injection and obtain its clinical results in patients with severe hip osteoarthritis.
