Mini Stem DEXA (Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry)
OsteoarthritisHipThe objective of this study is to evaluate the bone ingrowth after implantation of the study device. This study will also document any device-related surgical complications or adverse radiographic observations. Improvement in pain, function, and health economic data will be compared with improvements documented with other joint systems.
Study of Hip and Knee Arthroplasty in South Africa
OsteoarthritisKnee6 moreThis multi-site, observational, prospective study aims to investigate current practice and associated outcomes for patients scheduled for elective unilateral total hip or knee arthroplasty in South Africa.This information will provide baseline values, against which effects of implementing a multidisciplinary enhanced care protocol for arthroplasty patients will be compared (the subsequent study).
Adverse Events in Dry Needling
Muscle SorenessHeadache6 moreThe purpose of this prospective cohort survey study is to further explore the incidence of adverse events with dry needling by physical therapists - as well as any differences or similarities between patient-reported vs therapist-reported incidence of AEs.
Allofit® IT Ceramic Bearing System in Total Hip Arthroplasty
Avascular Necrosis of HipOsteoarthritis3 moreThis is a multi-center, prospective, non-controlled post market surveillance study. The objectives of this study are to obtain survival and outcome data on the Allofit IT Shell in combination with the BIOLOX® delta Taper Liner when used in primary total hip arthroplasty.
Incidence of 30 Day Return to Hospital Following Same Day Discharge Total Hip Arthroplasty
OsteoarthritisHip3 moreAmongst patients who are discharged home from hospital on the same day as their elective Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty, the Investigators seek to quantify the incidence of return to hospital within 30 days of surgery for assessment &/or treatment of surgical related problems or complications. This incidence rate will be compared to a cohort of patients who are not discharged on the same day as their Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty. The Investigators wish to know if the incidence of 30 day return to hospital is significantly different between these two groups of patients.
Study to Evaluate a Procedure for Intra-articular Injection of FX006 in Patients With Osteoarthritis...
OsteoarthritisHipThis is a multi-center, single-arm, open-label study of FX006 in patients with hip OA. A maximum number of approximately 30 patients may be enrolled in this protocol. All enrolled patients will receive a single intra-articular (IA) injection of FX006.
Fast Track Total Hip Arthroplasty vs Standard Care
Hip OsteoarthritisHip Pain ChronicFast-track total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a well-established concept including optimized logistics and evidence-based treatment, focusing on minimizing surgical stress and improved post-operative recovery. The aim of this protocol is to compare the standard care and fast track total hip arthroplasties in terms of functional and subjective outcomes, hospital staying, number of transfusions and analgesic consumption.
Regression Discontinuity Design Search for Differences in Mortality and Revision for Fixation Type...
Hip OsteoarthritisThe goal of this study is to apply the regression discontinuity design (RD) methodology on arthroplasty registry data. The investigators aim to use an age-based cut-off for fixation type choice and estimate the causal effect of fixation type on short term mortality and revision, using a fuzzy regression discontinuity design.
Mini Stem Radiostereometric Analysis Study
OsteoarthritisHipThe objectives of this study are to assess migration of the MIS Stem compared to the Synergy Hip System using Radiostereometric Analysis (RSA), and to assess the long-term safety and effectiveness of the study device. This study will document any device-related surgical or post-operative complications and adverse radiographic observations. Subjects meeting the entrance criteria specified in this protocol will be randomized as they become available.
Ceramic On Ceramic (COC) 36mm PAS IDE Rollover Subjects; Ceramic Acetabular Bearing With Ceramic...
Non-inflammatory Degenerative Joint DiseaseOsteoarthritis2 moreThis study is intended to gather medium (5- to 7-years) and long-term (minimum 8- to 10-years) information regarding the performance and safety of the commercially available 36mm CERAMAX® Ceramic on Ceramic (COC) Total Hip System from a cohort of study subjects that were previously enrolled in the IDE study. (COC = 36mm ceramic acetabular bearing insert component that articulates with a ceramic femoral head in the COC total hip replacement system)
