Filter by:In total hip arthroplasty several approaches can be used. The newly introduced minimally invasive anterior approach is supposed to cause less damage to tendons and muscles. At the same time there are reports that there are more complications when this approach is used. The direct lateral approach is the most used in Norway and is well documented. There are however those who postulate that there is to high risk of damage to the gluteus medius causing Trendelenburg gait. In the investigators hospital both the anterior and direct lateral approach is used with good result. The investigators main study hypothesis is that there is no difference between the use of anterior or direct lateral approach i total hip arthroplasty in regards to postoperative function and pain, complications, radiological finds (X-ray and MRI), markers for muscle damage (i.e CK-total) or other clinical outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to obtain long-term (10+ yrs) clinical and patient outcomes data on patients who received the Revelation Hip Stem prior to 2002.
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.
The purpose of this study is to analyze stability, safety and efficacy of the Metaphyseal Hip Prosthesis (MHP) compared to the Stanmore hip replacement.
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.
Osteoarthritis of the hip is a common type of osteoarthritis which can cause significant problems. First-line of management for patient with osteoarthritis consists of weight reduction, education, and analgesic medication. If necessary, invasive treatment like total hip replacement are performed for the patient. The objective of this study was to assess the safety of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) implantation in patients with hip osteoarthritis
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether there is a correlation between hip arthroplasty patients' preoperative weight and the patients quality of life and the clinical effect one year postoperatively.
This study was initiated to investigate the impact of the computer based image free navigation on the precision of the cup implantation. The implantation of the acetabular component (cup) is known to be a critical step in hip endoprosthetics. The cup position influences significantly the function, the absence of pain and the longevity of the artificial hip joint. The image free navigation system OrthoPilot is used to control the positioning of the cup during surgery.
Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is an effective procedure for reducing pain and improving function in patients with disabling osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip or knee. However, as with all invasive procedures, TJA is associated with certain risks and substantial costs. Since the indications for TJA are heavily dependent on patients' quality of life and expectations. TJA utilization rates vary widely throughout the United States, as seen with other 'preference-sensitive' procedures. Early evidence suggests shared decision making (SDM) strategies are effective in enhancing patient decision quality, or the degree to which treatment decisions reflect the preferences of fully informed patients, especially for preference-sensitive procedures like TJA. Despite these advantages, however, SDM has not been embraced or widely adopted in orthopaedics. To investigate this limited uptake, the investigators propose a series of evaluations of individual-level strategies. The investigators innovative and unique contribution is to approach patients, surgeons and healthcare purchasers as having symmetric and equally valid concerns about the benefits and cost associated with SDM. The investigators overall objective is to facilitate wider dissemination of SDM strategies in orthopaedic practices. The specific aims of the project are to assess, for SDM strategies, the impact on key patient, surgeon, and healthcare purchaser priorities; By achieving this aim our project will produce new interventions and incentives for disseminating SDM that are endorsed as feasible and acceptable by a coalition of patients, surgeons, and purchasers. The investigators plans for evaluation include a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the impact of SDM on outcomes of interest to patients, surgeons, and purchasers.
This study aims to objectively evaluate the implications of physiotherapeutic rehabilitation in the Assistance Protocol of Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA), by assessing the motor performance and testing the quality of life of patients undergoing THA surgery, to improve rehabilitation strategies for this population.
