Filter by:The purpose of this study is to clinically evaluate the use of the x-pander device.
The intent of this study is to evaluate the Prevena ™ 125 Unit and dressing system, when applied to either the hip or knee area over a surgical cut for the time you are hospitalized.
Total hip replacement is a major surgical procedure usually associated with significant pain in the early postoperative period. In our hospital, total hip replacement is routinely performed under spinal anaesthesia with intrathecal bupivacaine local anaesthetic plus opioid in the form of preservative free morphine. The use of 'local infiltration analgesia' as an alternative postoperative analgesic technique has been investigated.In this technique the surgeon infiltrates the surgical site with a long-acting local anaesthetic and places a catheter under direct vision which remains in situ and is used to administer local anaesthetic in the postoperative period until such time as it is removed (when no longer deemed necessary for pain relief or at a pre-set time in the postoperative period e.g. 48 hours). We hypothesize that infiltration of the surgical site with peri- and intraarticular levobupivacaine local anaesthetic would be an efficacious pain management technique and would not be inferior to intrathecal morphine for postoperative pain management.
A group of orthopedic physiotherapists have developed a late phase program to educate and instruct total hip replacement patients in progressive exercises appropriate for their level of recovery. The components of this program include an educational presentation, individual assessment and exercise prescription. The investigators' intent is to pilot the program using a sample of patients. The objective of this pilot project: To examine the effects of the late phase education session and home-based exercise program in restoring hip muscle strength, gait and function
This is a pilot study to compare systemic concentrations of cobalt and chromium in patients that have previously undergone total hip arthroplasties with ceramic on metal and metal on metal bearing surfaces.
A prospective, comparative, randomized single surgeon study comparing minimally invasive total hip arthroplasty (MIS) via anterior approach to conventional total hip arthroplasty via anterolateral transgluteal approach.
The hypothesis for the present study was that patients receiving a minimally invasive total hip arthroplasty will show a faster improvement on walking ability and mobilization in the immediate postoperative period compared to patients with the standard Hardinge approach. Therefore, the main goal was to evaluate the differences in early rehabilitation of these two different surgical approaches by gait analysis and electromyographical examination as objective methods.
The aim is to investigate whether auricular acupuncture is superior to sham acupuncture in relief of acute pain and in reduction of analgesics in patients during total hip arthroplasty
