Filter by:The total hip replacement, with over 120,000 cases per year in France, provides short term, excellent functional results and a significant improvement in quality of life, in almost all cases. However, observation showed that the dislocation is not a rare complication (2-4%) and the lifetime of the implants is limited due to aseptic loosening. The evaluation process used in this study will be the extent of penetration of the metal femoral head in the cup and micro mobility metal back by radiostereometric analysis (RSA) whose precision provides early results (2 3 years), long before wear and migration are measurable by conventional radiological means. The main objective will be to compare, 2 years after the intervention, the penetration of the metal femoral head in 3 types of inserts: two dual mobility inserts, one at tripod attachment (Novae E®), the other press fit pure (Sunfit®), and a fixed insert (Quartz®). This is a randomized controlled trial. 105 patients will be enrolled (35 in each group). Patients will be included in each of the two participating centers (Amiens, Caen). The analysis will be made in RSA D7 + 2, 6 months 1, 12 months 1 24 months 1. An assessment will be made to 3 years if the analysis requires it to 2 years. Analysis of pictures will be centralized in Caen and performed with specific software after transferring images via a secure network.
The investigators propose to deploy an interactive device to monitor the patient's recovery and vital signs at home after joint replacements. These will be early discharge patients on the same day or the next morning. The goal will be to support early discharges by creating a safe, controlled, and monitored environment at home.
Does having a large diameter metal on polyethylene total hip replacement increase metal ion release. Larger metal heads are thought to have increased torsional forces on the trunion which would like release more metal ions. Increased metal ion levels have been associated with adverse local tissue reactions. Are there any differences comparing these groups to a dual mobility type total hip replacement.
Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most commonly performed orthopaedic operations worldwide. The main aim is overall improvement in levels of patient pain and mobility. Such surgery involves implantation of both an acetabular and femoral component. With the patient in the lateral decubitus position, the Orthopaedic Surgeon assumes that the pelvis is in a neutral position with respect to all three body planes at the time of acetabular component implantation. With regard to THA, the current orthopaedic literature demonstrates a clear relationship between acetabular component positioning, polyethylene wear and risk of dislocation. Problems with edge loading, stripe wear and squeaking are also associated with higher acetabular inclination angles, particularly in hard-on-hard bearing implants. The important parameters of acetabular component positioning are depth, height, version and inclination. Control of acetabular component inclination, particularly in the lateral decubitus position, is difficult and remains a challenge for the Orthopaedic Surgeon. Accurate implantation of the acetabular component within the 'safe zone' of radiological inclination is dependent on: - Operative version - Operative inclination - Pelvic position (Primarily, but not exclusively, abduction / adduction.) This study aims to investigate the effect of patient pelvic positioning and method of acetabular component insertion on acetabular component inclination during Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA).
The primary aim of the study is to compare the results of an established, successful procedure, which is total hip arthroplasty through a mini-posterior approach to a less studied - increasingly popular procedure, which is total hip replacement through the direct anterior approach utilizing the orthopedic table.
Primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been a very successful surgical intervention in the geriatric population. Numerous studies have reported good mid and long term results of THA in patients over the age of 60 years. With the reported high success rate of this surgical intervention, the THA surgery is being performed in younger patients who have significant joint disease. A clinical trial, using a randomized blinded design, was undertaken to compare the functional outcome of 1) alumina heads/alumina liners, and 2) alumina head/Crossfire polyethylene liners in patients 60 years of age or younger with non-inflammatory arthritis of the hip. Subjects were assessed preoperatively and at one and five years postoperatively. Ten-year follow-up is currently underway. The primary outcome measure is the WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index. Secondary measures were the RAND-12, as well as measurement of complication and revision rates. The patient's demand on the implant as calculated by the patient's age, weight, health status and activity level was also measured.
The researchers want to investigate the effects of muscle relaxation with rocuronium bromide during general anaesthesia on muscle trauma (serum CK, CRP) and postoperative analgesic consumption in patients with total hip prosthesis replacement (general vs. spinal anaesthesia).
Total hip arthroplasty is amongst the most painful procedures postoperatively, and pain management can be a challenge. Different measures have been introduced to manage severe postoperative pain in these patients. Previous studies have investigated gabapentin in acute postoperative pain and demonstrated reduced postoperative pain, postoperative morphine consumption, morphine related side effects, and postoperative pain scores. To date, this analgesia adjunct has yet to be investigated for total joint arthroplasty patients.
Magnesium is implicated in the activation of NMDA receptors by amino-excitatory acids in the central nervous system [1]. Magnesium deficiency is associated to an increased activation of these receptors, and to an increased sensitivity to pain in animals. Spinal cord is the site of sensitization of pain, mainly mediated by the NMDA receptors, and intrathecal magnesium may have anti-hyperalgesic effect when administered intrathecally [2]. As intrathecal magnesium has already been used in humans for treatment of eclampsia, we stated that it could also improve postoperative analgesia and reduce the need for auto-administered morphine if given (50 mg of magnesium sulfate) with the intrathecal anesthetic drugs (bupivacaine and sufentanil) injected for orthopedic surgery.
There are several treatments for postoperative pain after Hip Replacement Surgery. However, some require an intravenous line which may interfere with rehabilitation after surgery. This study aims to evaluate which method of pain treatment is best after Hip Replacement Surgery. Patients will either receive pain treatment at surgery, continuous intravenous pain treatment, or both. In the first two days after surgery, patients will frequently be asked to rate their pain, and use of other pain medication will be monitored.
