HIP FRACTURES

This study is checking the long-term safety and performance of two hip implant devices (RingLoc Bipolar Acetabular Cup and Endo II Femoral Head) used in hip replacement surgery. Researchers will follow 116 patients who had their surgery at least eight years ago, tracking complica…

This study tests a handheld device called the Osteoprobe that measures bone strength by pressing on the shinbone. Researchers want to see if it can identify women at risk for hip and wrist fractures better than standard bone density scans. About 190 women with recent fractures an…

This pilot study tests whether adding blood flow restriction therapy to standard physical therapy helps elderly patients (65 and older) recover muscle strength and size after hip fracture surgery. Twenty participants will have their thigh and leg measurements, muscle strength, pa…

This study compares two types of nerve blocks—SFIB and PENG—to see which one controls pain better after hip replacement surgery. Sixty patients will be randomly assigned to receive one of the blocks. The main goal is to measure how much morphine they need in the first 24 hours af…

This study looks back at 300 patients who had a hip replacement after a cancer-weakened bone broke. Researchers want to see how well patients walk, their pain levels, and how long they live compared to patients from decades ago. The goal is to find what helps people walk again af…

This study follows about 1500 adults with hip, shin, ankle, upper arm, or wrist fractures for up to one year. Researchers collect information on healing, patient-reported symptoms, and activity patterns using questionnaires and wearable sensors. The goal is to understand recovery…

This study asks over 2,300 people with various joint conditions (like arthritis, fractures, and hip problems) to fill out surveys about their treatment preferences. Researchers want to learn how factors like pain, recovery time, cost, and surgery versus non-surgery affect patient…
