The aim of this study is to evaluate periprosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) changes in the proximal femur after implantation of the Fitmore compared to the CLS stem.
The infection rate after Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) is about 1%. It is a serious condition, with high morbidity, sometimes fatal, requiring costly treatment. The treatment is difficult because "biofilm" forms very early after the bacterial contamination of the prosthesis. Prevent infection means reduce or prevent the formation of bacterial biofilm and controlling protein response to allow osseous-integration of the prosthesis. A new prosthesis was developped, grafted by PolyNaSS (polysodium styrenesulfonate). This bioactive polymer allows to substantially reduce bacterial adhesion, biocompatibility, bio-integration in preclinical studies. This first clinical study aims to compare the osseous-integration of this prosthesis to the same prothesis with no grafting. No previous clinical trial
Main question: Will use of a stem design that allows anatomical reconstruction of the hip joint improve the outcome in terms of hip function and patient satisfaction without causing any adverse effects? Background: Total hip arthroplasty with use of the most well documented implants is a safe and cost-effective procedure. In the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty register the CLS stem has a 16 years implant survival of 97, 5 %. It is a classic design which requires resection of most of the neck. The stem also intrudes into the greater trochanter which in patients with certain types of proximal hip anatomy makes proper introduction of the stem difficult. Finally it has a standard stem length which will jeopardise future stem removal should there occur any late infection or instability problems. Short uncemented stems have been introduced to enable a more anatomic reconstruction of the hip joint and to cause less invasion of the femoral canal to facilitate future revision should it be necessary. A more conservative resection of neck could also be of value to improve the clinical outcome by improved hip function and patient satisfaction. Purpose of the present study and design: In a prospective study the clinical outcome, stem fixation and bone remodelling around a short stem (Fitmore) will be studied. The main focus will be to evaluate patient reported outcomes especially concerning function, over all satisfaction, pain and activity. All patients will receive the same cup (Trilogy). This cup is chosen because it has a very thorough documentation in prospective RSA studies and in the Swedish hip arthroplasty register. All cups will be supplied with insert made of high molecular polyethylene (Longevity). Number of hips in the study: 44 consecutive cases
Knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common cause of disability in the U.S. and affects more than 60% of adults over 65 years. As the burden of knee and hip OA increases among aging adults, more patients are deciding to have joint replacement surgery. However, no clear guidelines exist for patients to determine if or when to undergo total joint replacement (TJR). The investigators plan to develop a web-based system that will provide individualized patient OA Care Plans that will help patients make informed decisions about how to treat their arthritis. The investigators will be using this system with patients to see if they find it useful. The investigators believe that the OA Care plan will improve the process and quality of OA treatment decisions and the quality of OA care.
Total hip arthroplasty can be associated with significant postoperative pain. Side effects of pain management may impair participation in physical therapy and slow readiness for discharge from the hospital. In a previous study done by the investigators' group, epidural patient controlled analgesia (EPCA) with a hydromorphone containing solution appeared to have a more favorable pain profile with ambulation, but greater side effects compared to injection of a peri-articular cocktail. The use of opioid was greater in the peri-articular injection group (PAI). There was no difference in length of stay. In view of the controversy over opioid use, the investigators would like to develop an optimal opioid sparing pain management approach by comparing 3 different protocols 1) Plain local anesthetic EPCA; 2) PAI; 3) EPCA + PAI; all in conjunction with a multimodal opioid sparing pain regimen. The goal would be to maximize pain control while minimizing opioid use and side-effects.
The care for patients receiving total hip and knee arthroplasty at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences has followed a structured care pathway since July 2015. This system of perioperative care has focused on preoperative assessment of medical co-morbidities and risks to postoperative functional recovery, anesthetic care focused on postoperative nausea and vomiting prevention and optimizing immediate postoperative functional ability, and aggressive postoperative physical therapy. This is an observational study to look at the outcomes of this program at University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Areas of focus will be hospital length of stay, postoperative narcotic consumption, Visual Analog Scale scores, incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, and 30-day readmission rates, and health literacy rates.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic systemic disease, which is characterized by chronic inflammation in the synovial tissue. Rheumatoid arthritis ultimately results in the destruction of cartilage, bone and ligaments and joint deformity. The underlying hypothesis is that autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal and specific populations of stem cells has anti-inflammatory and regenerative effects and thus potentially alleviates the progression of rheumatoid arthritis. The study is to explore the safety and efficacy of BM-SC transplantation in treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
A pilot study to evaluate changes in hip function and pain in patients with osteoarthritis receiving the ReNu™ Hip Injection.
The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of an OA-specific aerobic and strengthening exercise program, delivered within the workplace, on mobility, pain, physical capacity, and resilience among workers with knee or hip OA as well as those with no joint pain. The investigators hypothesize that exercise designed for OA, delivered at work, will improve all of these outcomes.
