Filter by:The primary goal is to evaluate ropivacaine blood concentrations during and after local anaesthetic (ropivacaine) infiltration - the Caledonian technique - for total hip replacement surgery. The investigators plan to measure these levels by testing blood samples taken over a timed period. This will allow us to confirm whether the current regimen of local anaesthetic use is within safe limits.
The purpose of this study is to compare the short term effectiveness and return to function of subjects undergoing primary Total Hip Arthroplasty using an Anterior Approach (incision on the front part of the hip joint) versus Posterior Approach (incision over back part of the hip joint).
New anticoagulants are being introduced to replace warfarin. These drugs do not require monitoring and are safer. There is currently no recommended way to reverse these drugs rapidly in the event of undue bleeding or need for emergency surgery. This is a lab study to look at ways to reverse the drugs rapidly
The proposed study is a double-blinded randomized controlled trial comparing patient specific instruments with solely standardized instruments and pre-operative planning used for the placement of the acetabular cup prosthesis used in total hip arthroplasty. The investigators will enroll 36 patients who have consented to total hip arthroplasty for treatment of hip pathology. This treatment is a standard of care. Patients will receive standard of care pre- and post-operative care and placement of standard of care implants all of which are commercially available and FDA approved for general use for the clinical indications used in these patients. All patients will receive a pre-operative CT scan for surgical planning and comparison with post-operative CT scan. The difference in intervention between the groups will be the creation and use of patient specific instruments from the pre-operative planning session. These instruments will be used for placement of an indexing peripheral guide wire to direct acetabular preparation and placement of the shell assisting standard surgical instruments. Print-offs from the pre-operative plan will also be used in the treatment group. The post-operative scan will be performed within two weeks of the surgery for both the treatment and control groups. The investigators will analyze the difference in acetabular shell placement (acetabular version and abduction angle) from the pre-operatively planned CT scan. These differences will be compared between the control and experimental groups.
- 6-week Efficacy Study The objective of this study is to prove the safety and non-inferiority of analgesic efficacy of CG100649 2 mg vs. celecoxib 200 mg, and analgesic superiority of CG100649 2 mg vs. placebo, when administered once a day in patients with osteoarthritis of the hip or knee over the 6 week Treatment period. The primary efficacy parameter is the difference from Baseline to Week 6 in the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Index of Osteoarthritis (WOMAC)-Pain subscale. - Extended Safety Study The objective of the Extended Safety Study is to collect a total of 24 weeks of safety data for CG100649 including the initial 6 weeks of safety data, and an additional 18 weeks of safety data for those subjects who agree on the consent form to continue into the Extended Safety Study. Subjects will be administered CG100649 2 mg only during 18 weeks of Extended Safety Study.
The purpose of this study is to compare the infection rate in patients receiving/not receiving their own blood, collected during surgery, during and after orthopedic surgery. The hypothesis is that transfusion of autologous salvaged blood may reduce postoperative infection.
A study to show the safety of COV155 in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee or hip or moderate to severe chronic low back pain.
Osteoarthritis is a common disease that causes muscle weakness, stiffness and instability. The disease reduces the opportunities for an active lifestyle. Exercise Therapy provides a well-documented effect on pain and function in patients with osteoarthritis of the hip. It is sought an optimal dose of exercise, in which this study will help to investigate. We hypothesize that an exercise program designed to have a high number of repetitions will benefit the outcome of the training in a more positive way than a low-repetition based program.
Thr purpose of this study is to compare the clinical and radiological results, as well as the femur bone density measurements of two uncemented total hip prostheses during 5 years of follow up.
This study aims to assess postoperative blood loss and transfusion rates in total hip replacement after one-time administration of topical tranexamic acid.
