Exercise Therapy and Patient Education for Individuals With Hip Osteoarthritis of the Hip. A Case-Control...
Hip OsteoarthritisTo identify differences between patients with OA of the hip in an early stage and a healthy control group. Hypothesis 1.1 There are significant differences between patients with OA of the hip in an early stage and a healthy control group in terms of functional capacity, biomechanical / kinematic variables, muscle strength and range of motion. Osteoarthritis (OA) is by far the most prevalent joint disorder today. The knee and the hip are large joints to be targeted and is an important cause of pain and disability. In knee OA, it is shown that significant risk factors in developing the disease are quadriceps weakness, joint instability, and changes in joint loading. A few studies on hip OA have shown altered gait pattern, which affect joint loading, and one study has shown weakness in abductors, adductors and flexors around the hip. As joint loading and muscle weakness are important factors in the development in knee OA, it might as well be factors influencing OA in the hip. The purpose of this case-control studies was to compare hip OA patients to a healthy control group regarding biomechanical and clinical differences. Patients with hip pain, activity limitations (Harris Hip Score 60-95 p) and radiographically verified hip OA was included. The healthy control group will have a Harris Hip Score of 100 p. One hundred and ten patients and fifty controls will be asked to fill in questionnaires on pain, stiffness and physical function (WOMAC), quality-of-life (SF-36 v2), self-efficacy (Lorigue), and activity (PASE) in addition to perform 6-minute walk test, sub-maximal cardiovascular function, strength, and hip range of motion tests. Additionally, Qualisys Pro reflex 3D motion analysis system will be used during walking, one-leg standing, and raising from a chair on a sub-group of 40 patients and 20 controls.
Wright Medical Technology Metal-on-Metal 522 Post-Market Surveillance Study
OsteoarthritisHip3 moreThis study is in response to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) call to all manufacturers with 510(k) clearance for metal-on-metal (MoM) total hip arthroplasty (THA) devices to conduct postmarket surveillance studies. MicroPort has various acetabular shells, acetabular liners, fixation screws, femoral heads, femoral stems, modular necks, and proximal bodies currently cleared for MoM indications. Together these components comprise the Wright Medical Technology (WMT) MoM THA System. The primary objective of the study is to determine the incidence of adverse local tissue reactions (ALTR) in each THA implanted with the WMT MoM THA System overall and to create cross-sectional epochs of ≤ 8 years and > 8 years, since implantation.
Post-Approval Study of the R3 Biolox Delta Ceramic Acetabular System - Europe
Degenerative Joint Disease of HipThe purpose of this prospective, multicenter, single arm study is to confirm the long-term safety and effectiveness of the R3 delta Ceramic Acetabular System PMA (P150030) by evaluating long-term (10 years after surgery) follow-up results.
Assessment of Implant Fixation and SF-36 for Short Hip-Stems - A Prospective Clinical Study
Primary and Secondary CoxarthrosisDysplasia Coxarthrosis1 moreThe primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the implant fixation of the NANOS™ Neck Preserving Hip Stem (OHST Medizintechnik AG, distributed by Smith & Nephew GmbH, Marl, Germany) by measuring the migration of the implant using the model-based roentgen stereophotogrammetric analysis (MBRSA).
Assays for and Reversal of New Anticoagulants
Atrial FibrillationOsteoarthritis of the Knee1 moreNew anticoagulants are being introduced to replace warfarin. These drugs do not require monitoring and are safer. There is currently no recommended way to reverse these drugs rapidly in the event of undue bleeding or need for emergency surgery. This is a lab study to look at ways to reverse the drugs rapidly
Observational Study Evaluating Outcomes of Hip Arthroplasty Using Tornier Dual Mobility Acetabular...
Primary OsteoarthritisPost-traumatic Osteoarthritis of Hip Nos3 moreThe purpose of this study is to demonstrate the performance and reliability of Tornier "Dual Mobility Cup" used during primary total hip replacement or hip replacement revision surgery at least 24 months post-insertion.
Blood Levels of Local Anaesthetic in Hip Arthroplasty
OsteoarthritisHipThe primary goal is to evaluate ropivacaine blood concentrations during and after local anaesthetic (ropivacaine) infiltration - the Caledonian technique - for total hip replacement surgery. The investigators plan to measure these levels by testing blood samples taken over a timed period. This will allow us to confirm whether the current regimen of local anaesthetic use is within safe limits.
ArCom® and ArComXL® Polyethylene Data Collection
Osteoarthritis of HipThe purpose of this prospective clinical data-collection is to document the performance, clinical outcomes, and wear rates of ArCom® and ArComXL® Polyethylene. The data gathered will be collated and used as a part of Biomet's post-market surveillance system and to provide feedback to designing engineers, support marketing efforts, and answer potential questions from reimbursement agencies. Inclusion/exclusion criteria are identical to those indications and contraindications stated in the FDA approved labeling for the device in 510(k) K926107 and 510(k) K043051. Surgical techniques and patient care are to be standard for the surgeons participating in the protocol.
Pain and Sensation After Regional Anesthesia - Pilot Study
AnesthesiaConduction2 moreThis study aims to determine spinal resolution and pain levels after the placement of a lumbar plexus block (LPB) and spinal for total hip replacement procedure. This is a pilot study that looks to collect information in order to design a larger, more significant study comparing Quadratus Lumborum blocks (QLB) and Lumbar Plexus blocks.
