Active clinical trials for "Osteoarthritis, Hip"

This is a single site, randomized single blinded, two arm study researching the effects of bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) versus Triamcinolone in patients with hip osteoarthritis. The aims and hypothesis are as follows: Specific Aim 1: Evaluate the change in pain and functional scores of a single bone marrow aspirate injection in comparison to triamcinolone in patients with hip osteoarthritis through validated patient reported outcomes scores at baseline to 12 months (6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months). Hypothesis: The investigators hypothesize that triamcinolone and BMAC groups will have pain reduction after each respective intervention. The changes with triamcinolone will be noticeable on the short term. The BMAC changes will take longer to have an effect but will longer duration. The investigators hypothesize that at 6 months and 1 year participants receiving BMAC will have better scores reported on the WOMAC compared to the triamcinolone injection and better than prior to injection. Specific Aim 2: Evaluate the change of bone marrow aspirate injection in comparison to triamcinolone in participant's performance on the 6 minute walk test from baseline to 12 months (6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months). Hypothesis: The investigators hypothesize that there will be higher walking distances on the 6 minute walk test in the participants receiving a BMAC injection in comparison to triamcinolone starting at the 3 months follow-up time. Specific Aim 3: Quantify and correlate cell characterization with patient reported outcomes score. Hypothesis: The investigators hypothesize that there will be better patient reported outcomes in patients who have a higher concentration of mesenchymal stem cells injected. The investigators will enroll 50 patients into each arm. Bone marrow will be aspirated then subsequently concentrated using the Emcyte PureBMC kit. The investigators will test the BMAC viability, rapid sterility, endotoxin, platelet concentration, volume, and total nucleated cell counts prior to injecting. The BMAC will be utilized as a hip injection into the affected hip of the patient. Patients receiving the Triamcinolone will undergo a sham bone needling to simulate the aspiration to keep patients blinded. Both groups will receive their injections under ultrasound guidance.

The purpose of this study is to test whether the use of Ropivacaine and Mepivacaine are better in terms of effectiveness, cost, and safety than Bupivacaine as regional anesthetics in elective hip or knee replacement surgery.

The objective of this study is to evaluate patient outcomes in regards to safety and effectiveness based on the clinical performance of the reference devices to further support the assessment of residual risk identified in the Clinical Evaluation Report for the Ortho Development Hip System.

To assess clinical outcomes and surgery related resource use in the year post surgery for patients undergoing hip replacement using the Mako Robo

The implantation of artificial hip joints is one of the most frequently performed surgeries. Normally, patients are very satisfied with the results. The MobileLink hip prosthesis system is a CE marked medical device. This means the the safety and performance of the prosthesis ist approved. Aim of the study is to collect clinical data about the outcome of the MobileLink hip prosthesis systen under routine condition and the determine the satisfaction of the patients.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of hydrolyzed collagen in osteoarthritis.

This study is a multicenter, retrospective and prospective, non-controlled, non-randomized post market clinical follow-up study. The objectives of this study are to confirm the long-term safety, performance and clinical benefits the Exception Cementless femoral stem (standard and varized) when used in primary total hip arthroplasty.

This PMCF study is designed to collect safety and efficacy data on hip hemiarthroplasty surgeries with Corin BiPolar-i shell and the Oceane+ or Meije Duo femoral stem up to 10 years.

The main objectives of this study are to confirm the long-term safety, performance, and clinical benefits of the G7 Freedom Constrained Vivacit-E Acetabular Liners in primary and revision total hip arthroplasty.

Reducing the occurrence of anemia (low circulating hemoglobin levels) post-surgery has been associated with improved outcome, as it reduces complications and allows for faster return to pre-operative function. Post-operative hemoglobin level is dependent upon its pre-operative value (for a given amount of blood loss). About 17% of patients at the Ottawa Hospital (TOH), will be anemic pre-operatively, and if left untreated the patients will have significantly inferior outcomes compared to non-anemic patients. In order to improve outcomes, when a patient is identified as anemic, typically at the pre-operative assessment clinic, he/she is invited to be reviewed and optimized at the Pre-operative Blood Optimization Clinic (PBOC). However, only a quarter of anemic patients are seen in the PBOC due to the lack of time available between anemia identification and surgery and the current resources available. This project will focus on hemoglobin level optimization of pre-operative hip and knee, primary, arthroplasty patients to demonstrate whether early assessment and treatment of pre-operative anemia can be successfully integrated into practice and its impact on post-operative outcomes. Patients will be randomly assigned to either the current standard of care pathway with an anemia test at the pre-operative assessment clinic (2-4 weeks before surgery), at which time they have the option to seek treatment. Patients who are randomly selected to be in the experimental group, will undergo a test to detect anemia at the time they consent for surgery, which is usually 4-6 months prior to surgery. Patients with anemia, will be invited for treatment at the blood optimization clinic at this time. In doing so, this project will test whether timely identification and simple measures is feasible and whether such practice can reduce the overall anemia burden and ultimately improve patient outcome.
