Filter by:This study is a prospective validation study of a new hip and knee replacement-specific questionnaire that can be used to predict postoperative complications. The purpose of this study is to confirm the validity of a new hip and knee scoring system to be used as a clinical tool to predict potential complication rates in patients undergoing total hip or knee replacement surgery. This scoring system aims to stratify patients into specific risk categories based a standardized calculated score. Patients will be evaluated on health risk factors and severity of disease on radiographic imaging prior to surgery, associated to higher complication rates following surgery. The hopeful anticipated result of this study is a prospective validation of the scoring system with both statistical and clinical significance in predicting postoperative complication rates in patients with moderate to high health risk, This stratification system may prove meaningful by allowing these patients, especially those classified as High-Risk, to be incorporated into more appropriate healthcare bundle payment systems that account for their higher financial demands. Furthermore, the stratification may allow for preoperative counseling and a shift towards non-operative management, or surgeon-patient conversations regarding the need to modify a portion of their objective risks prior to surgical intervention. Predictive risk models such as the one presented in the current study will be essential tools as the number of total hip arthroplasty procedures performed each year continue to increase and both the numbers of procedures and associated complications impose a significant cost on the U.S. healthcare system.
In this project, a web-based exercise program is developed in co-creation between specialized health care, the Norwegian Association for Rheumatic diseases (NRF) and a group of experienced patient representatives. The project emerges from the evidence that exercise is recommended as first-line treatment for patients with chronic diseases like hip- and knee-osteoarthritis (OA). However, the number of patients in need of targeted exercise will increase considerably the next decades, and their treatment needs cannot be fully handled within the health care system. Development of innovative and effective treatment trajectories and follow-up strategies is urgently required. Peer-support is recognized as an effective way to increase patients' long-term adherence to exercise. Thus, patient-organizations may be an unutilized resource in support and follow-up of patients who need long-term exercise as part of their treatment plan. After discharge from examination in hospital, patients with hip/knee OA will be recruited to follow-up in a novel web-based, peer-supported exercise program, and the feasibility of the intervention will be evaluated.
Osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip is one of the ten most disabling diseases in the developed world. Because OA gradually worsens over time, the sooner treatment is started, the more likely its impact is lessened. Hip OA is characterized by joint pain, cartilage degeneration, and an increase in disability. Multiple treatments are used to manage the degenerating hip as well as the associated pain. These include physiotherapy and rehabilitation, bracing, other walking aids, oral medications, injections, and in severe cases, surgery. Prior research has shown that injection of hyaluronic acid (HA) and corticosteroids can slow down OA degradation. This study will look at the effects of injecting Cingal into the hip, which expands on its current approved use in the treatment of knee OA.
This study is a Post Market Clinical Follow up study to fulfil the post market surveillance obligations according to Medical Device Directive and European Medical Device Vigilance System (MEDDEV) 2.12-2. The data collected from this study will serve the purpose of confirming safety and performance of the Avenir Müller Hip Stem.

Chronic pain affects more than 50 million adults in the United States and is estimated to cost the nation more than $560 billion dollars each year. Regular physical activity is widely recognized as essential for maintaining health for all individuals, but is particularly important for individuals with chronic pain (ICPs) as physical activity can prevent further deconditioning and may even improve pain outcomes. Previous literature has shown that certain categories of partner behaviors (e.g., solicitous, punishing, distracting) are associated with different health outcomes for ICPs, and recently researchers have begun examining partner behaviors through the lens of Self-Determination Theory, specifically looking at the effects of autonomy support from a spouse on physical activity among ICPs. Partner autonomy support has been positively associated with physical activity levels and better health outcomes, but no studies to date have explored what factors predict whether or not a partner will use an autonomy supportive interpersonal style (as opposed to a controlling interpersonal style) with the ICP. Similarly, more research is needed on the mechanisms by which autonomy support promotes positive outcomes for ICPs. Though receiving autonomy support has been linked to increased physical activity and improved mental health, no studies have yet tested the full Self-Determination Theory model as one possible explanation of the link between this form of partner support and desirable health outcomes. In particular, it is important to understand the ICP's perspective on how partner autonomy support influences need satisfaction and autonomous motivation as possible mediators between autonomy support and ICP physical activity. Furthermore, little research has explored other need supportive behaviors or their need frustrating counterparts. The current study will not only provide greater understanding of autonomy support, but will also expand the literature regarding these other need supportive and need thwarting behaviors. Lastly, given the value of need supportive behaviors from one's partner, it is essential to evaluate how partner perceptions of those need supportive behaviors align with ICP's perceptions of those behaviors. Any need support a partner provides is likely moderated by the ICP's perception of that support.
Hip osteoarthritis is associated with joint pain, physical disability, decreased muscle strength and poor health status, and the most common cause for total hip arthroplasty. No studies have investigated the effect of total hip arthroplasty compared to non-surgical treatment in patients with end-stage hip osteoarthritis. This comparison is of upmost importance as it is unknown whether non-surgical treatment may be used as an alternate to surgery. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether total hip arthroplasty followed by standard care is superior to progressive resistance training for improving hip function and pain in patients with end-stage hip osteoarthritis. The hypothesis is that patients treated with total hip arthroplasty will improve more than patients treated with progressive resistance training.
This is a multi-center, single-arm, open-label study of FX006 in patients with hip OA. A maximum number of approximately 30 patients may be enrolled in this protocol. All enrolled patients will receive a single intra-articular (IA) injection of FX006.
A randomized controlled study comparing two types of cementless femoral stems (LCU and Corail) and two types of acetabular components (DeltaTT and Pinnacle Duofix) in primary total hip arthroplasty. Primary outcome are component migration measured by RSA, wear and patient reported outcome. Patients are evaluated up to 15 years postoperatively.
This study will examine alterations in muscle in individuals with hip osteoarthritis compared to individuals without hip arthritis. All individuals will receive imaging of their hip and low back muscles in order to compare differences between groups. The investigators hypothesize that there will be differences between groups and that these differences will be related to strength, functional, and balance impairments which will also be measured in all individuals.
