HIP OSTEOARTHRITIS

This small pilot study tested whether a single injection of a patient's own processed fat tissue could safely help control hip osteoarthritis. Thirty adults with moderate hip pain received the injection and were followed for one year to check their pain, stiffness, and ability to…

This study compared two different hip replacement implants for people with severe hip arthritis. Researchers followed 56 patients for two years after surgery to see if a newer implant provides equal or better stability and results compared to an older, more established model. The…

This study looked at a shorter hip replacement implant for people with a specific type of weak thigh bone structure. It followed 108 patients for at least two years to see if the implant settled or shifted after surgery. The main goal was to check if this shorter design provides …

This study tested a new wearable insole system designed to help people recover their walking ability after hip replacement surgery. It involved 200 adults who were randomly assigned to use either the new smart insoles, a different commercial system, or just standard rehabilitatio…

This study aimed to find the best recipe for a pain-blocking injection given during hip replacement surgery. Researchers tested 120 patients to see if using a smaller dose of numbing medicine, or adding a common steroid, worked better. They found that adding the steroid to the in…

This study tested if showing patients a video before hip replacement surgery could help them move sooner and with less fear after the operation. 96 patients were split into two groups: one watched a video showing safe movement techniques, while the other received standard verbal …

This study tested whether a mobile phone app could help people recover faster after hip replacement surgery. The app showed patients nearby rehabilitation centers with available appointments and costs, while other patients used standard care. Researchers measured how quickly pati…

This study tested whether a specific nerve block, given during hip replacement surgery, could reduce patients' pain and lower their body's stress and inflammatory response. It involved 60 older adults undergoing hip replacement. Researchers compared pain levels, opioid use, and b…

This study aimed to understand if the severity of hip arthritis seen on X-rays is linked to how much pain a person feels and how well they can move. Researchers enrolled 72 patients with hip osteoarthritis and measured their pain, stiffness, walking ability, and balance. They the…

This study continued tracking 82 people who received specific hip replacement implants to see how well the implants stayed in place over two years. Researchers measured tiny movements of the artificial hip socket using special X-ray analysis and checked how patients were doing wi…

This study followed 64 patients with hip osteoarthritis who received the ACTIS hip replacement implant. Researchers used special X-ray imaging to measure how much the implant settled into the bone over 2 years after surgery. They compared three different surgical approaches and t…
