Active clinical trials for "Hip Injuries"

Physiotherapy treatment protocols described in the bibliography after hip surgery are most of them nonspecific. An experimental study is proposed to determine the effectiveness of a protocolized treatment of physiotherapy in the postoperative treatment of femoroacetabular impingement treated by arthroscopy. This study tries to adapt the non-specific post-surgical physiotherapy treatment protocols of the hip to the characteristics of the femoroacetabular impingement and its arthroscopic surgery.

The purpose of the study is to determine if opiates are required to achieve appropriate analgesia after hip arthroscopy in outpatient surgery. The investigators hypothesize that patients are frequently prescribed more opiates than are needed after surgery, resulting in excess medications that are at risk for misuse, diversion and contribution to the opioid epidemic

Task-oriented leg exercise are commonly used after joint surgeries in various hip pathologies. Based on this theory, it was hypothesized that task-oriented exercise without conventional physiotherapy can have better result in recovery of balance and leg function than with a conventional post-hip physiotherapy program after hip replacement surgery. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of task-oriented exercise on balance and leg function after total hip replacement.

Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS), or lateral hip pain, is associated with muscle weakness, altered movement patterns and painful daily activities. The disability associated with GTPS is comparable to end stage hip osteoarthritis, primarily affecting young and middle aged women. Few non-operative treatments have demonstrated long-term lasting or satisfactory results. For those who do improve, recurrence rates of pain and disability can be as high as 50%. Gluteal tendinopathy is the most common condition associated with a GTPS diagnosis. High compressive loads of the gluteal tendons during common activities like walking, stair-climbing, and running are the theorized mechanism for GTPS. These compressive loads are exacerbated with postures and movement patterns that involve the lateral tilting of the pelvis or movement of the thigh across the midline of the body. There is recent evidence that load modification through education and exercise is superior to a corticosteroid injection for reducing pain in these patients. However, it is unknown whether the possible effects of the load modification program were due to exercise alone or the reduction in compressive loads. As current physical therapy interventions for GTPS commonly incorporate high load postures and exercise activities, there is an urgent need to compare outcomes of standard of care physical therapy to load modification. The goal of this study is to evaluate the short-term effects of load modification education on pain and function in individuals with GTPS. Participants will be randomized to receive either standard exercise education or load modification education. Both groups will complete a series of questionnaires about their pain and function, and undergo a brief 2-dimensional assessment of their posture and movement. Between follow-up sessions, participants will be asked to respond to brief weekly online surveys to document their home program compliance, pain, and function. It is hypothesized that the group of participants receiving load modification will have the highest proportion of individuals with significant improvements in pain and function, and will demonstrate improved posture and movement.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of post-operative opioid use after two different educational interventions. The investigators will compare changes in pain, disability and sleep between groups 6 months after elective lower extremity surgery.

The purpose of the study is to collect post-market clinical follow-up data, which is needed to confirm the safety and performance of the JuggerKnot device and meet existing EU regulatory requirements.

The purpose of this study is to determine if trigger point dry needling (TDN) is as effective as cortisone injection (CI) in reducing pain and improving function in patients with greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS).

A randomized double-blind clinical trial was performed. There were 4 groups according to catheter placement and infusion constituents: 1) Intraarticular catheter + anesthetics; 2) Intraarticular catheter +placebo; 3) Subfascial catheter + anesthetics; 4) Subfascial catheter + placebo. The anesthetics infusion contained bupivacaine (bolus + continuous perfusion up to 36 hours). The placebo solution consisted in physiological serum (bolus + continuous perfusion up to 36 hours). Randomization was performed in the hospital pharmacy and the surgeon kept out the surgical field when the resident placed the catheter. The same conventional analgesic schedule was prescribed to all patients: PCA (patient controlled analgesia) + paracetamol 1g/6h + dexketoprofen 50mg/12h. The pain was evaluated by means of PCA (patient controlled analgesia) shots and the VAS (visual analog scale). Side effects, time to start rehabilitation and time to discharge were also analyzed. A statistical analysis was performed to compare all this variables between the 4 groups (SPSS 18.0).

This retrospective study evaluates 52 cases of avascular necrosis of femoral head (AVN) treated by core decompression, bone chips allograft, fibrin platelet rich-plasma (PRF) and concentrated autologous mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs).

The investigators therefore propose to undertake a further randomised controlled trial comparing the sliding hip screw (SHS) with the Targon PFT intramedullary nail. The aim is to see if the summation of the first trial of 600 participants comparing the sliding hip screw with the Targon PF nails, in conjunction with this study of 400 participants with the updated Targon PFT nail produces results that convincingly demonstrate that this particular design of implant is superior to the sliding hip screw. Because of the financial issues involved a cost benefit comparison for the two procedures is planned at the completion of the study. Primary outcome measures will be regain of walking ability. Secondary outcome measures recorded with include mortality, length of surgery, operative blood loss, blood transfusion, post-operative complications, hospital stay, need for subsequent revision surgery and degree of residual pain.
