Filter by:The objective of this study is to evaluate patient outcomes in regards to safety and effectiveness based on the clinical performance of the reference devices to further support the assessment of residual risk identified in the Clinical Evaluation Report for the Ortho Development Hip System.
A Quality Study in the use of Post-Anaesthesia Care Unit(PACU) in Hip and Knee Arthroplasty, and the ability to bypass this unit. The investigators wish to investigate the amount of patients who is required to be secondary admitted to the PACU, after primary discharge from the operating room to the surgical ward, thereby bypassing the PACU.
This study evaluates function, quality of life and development of hip- and knee osteoarthritis minimum 15 years after unilateral femoral lengthening on people with idiopathic or post-traumatic anisomelia.
The objective of this study is to evaluate patient perspective on telemedicine used in 3 week post operative visits for knee and hip arthroplasty. It is hypothesized that patient satisfaction with telemedicine follow-up is equal to patient satisfaction with in-office followup. Patient satisfaction will be assessed at the 3-week and 9-week post-operative timepoints.
Hypothesis: The spa therapy treatment could improve health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in subjects with knee and/or hip osteoarthritis, and patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Main objective: Analyze if HRQOL in patients with knee and/or hip osteoarthritis, and patients with rheumatoid arthritis is modified by spa therapy treatment in the spa of Fitero (Spain). Design: Prospective observational study Participants: Fitero's spa users aged between 45-80 years old, diagnosed with knee and/or hip osteoarthritis, and also with rheumatoid arthritis. At least 40 patients of each type will be included in the study. Participants must be receiving a treatment of at least ten days. Main Variable: The scores obtained in the Euroqol5Dimensions-5Levels questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) (for all subjects), the Western Ontario MacMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) questionnaire, for subjects with knee and/or hip osteoarthritis, and the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), for subjects with rheumatoid arthritis. Other variables: sociodemographic, anthropometric, clinics, and related with spa treatment. Follow-up duration: 9 months.
This study evaluates the effects of various types of ultrasound therapy: continuous, pulsed, sham ultrasound and ultrasound combined with electrotherapy in patients with hip osteoarthritis. Beside ultrasound therapy, patients received usual physiotherapy (balneotherapy, exercise and massage) either.
The objective of this exploratory study is to evaluate the cellular and connective tissue composition of joints from patients with Osteoarthritis (OA) who have been treated with fasinumab, compared with those treated with placebo or Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Spinal anesthesia is commonly utilized for hip replacement surgery. Different medications used for spinal anesthesia work for different lengths of time. This study will compare three different spinal anesthesia medications in patients having hip replacement surgery to see if patients are able to get out of bed and walk earlier after surgery with one medication versus the others.
Tears of the acetabular labrum appear to be common with the prevalence of asymptomatic tears in the general population approaching 66% and 70% based on cadaveric dissection and magnetic resonance imaging, respectively. Despite this prevalence, there is no currently accepted justification for performing labral repair in an asymptomatic patient despite the many postulated biomechanical benefits that an intact labrum imparts to the hip joint. Representing a smaller proportion of all tears, symptomatic tears of the acetabular labrum present a therapeutic challenge. Current treatment modalities range from conservative measures to open surgical intervention. Conservative measures have typically included: activity modification, the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), physical therapy (PT), core strengthening and improvement of sensory motor control. In the past two decades, technological advances in the form of surgical instrumentation and traction devices have facilitated less invasive arthroscopic techniques to diagnose and treat hip problems and as such is now the preferred treatment modality for many orthopedic surgeons treating patients with hip pathology. Determining which patients, using age and arthritic burden as predictors, can benefit from labral repair is paramount for several reasons. Showing arthroscopic repair is of little or no benefit to a specific cohort can reduce the number of unnecessary surgeries performed, increase the use of conservative therapy (if validated) and reduce the interval between diagnosis and total hip replacement.
The prevalence of severe and disabling osteoarthritis of the hip and/or knee in Albertans is high and increasing. Existing nonsurgical treatments often inadequately control symptoms. Analgesic medications are frequently poorly tolerated in seniors. In these circumstances, joint arthroplasty remains the most evidence based definitive treatment option. In Alberta, wait times for orthopedic assessment and joint arthroplasty are unacceptably long. Additionally, there is a subset of patients who would benefit from joint arthroplasty but are not candidates because they are too young or are poor surgical candidates because of medical comorbidities. There is a great need for a clinically effective and cost-effective nonsurgical treatment option for severe knee and hip osteoarthritis. There is a growing body of published studies consistently documenting a good safety profile for Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) injections. The risks and adverse events are comparable to injection of commonly used therapeutic agents (i.e. corticosteroid and hyaluronic acid), including joint swelling (this risk may be increased if the joint was previously affected by gout), stiffness, soreness and, very rarely, infection. The emerging literature also documents promising improvements in pain relief and function. If intra-articular BMAC injection results in safe, significant and predictable relief of pain and disability in Albertans with severe hip and/or knee osteoarthritis, BMAC could offer an expeditious and cost-effective alternative to joint arthroplasty thus shortening arthroplasty wait times. Additionally, patients with severe osteoarthritis who are unfit for arthroplasty could be offered this less invasive intervention. The aim of this trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of BMAC injection in patients with severe hip or knee osteoarthritis.
