HIP OSTEOARTHRITIS

This study compared two types of hip implants (Avenir and Corail) in 56 people with hip osteoarthritis who needed a hip replacement. Researchers used special X-ray techniques to measure how much the implants moved over two years. The goal was to see if the newer implant works as …

This study tested a special insole that measures foot pressure to help people walk better after hip replacement surgery. 200 adults were randomly assigned to rehab with or without this device. The goal was to see if the insole system is as good as standard rehab for improving wal…

This study looked at whether showing patients a short video before hip replacement surgery could reduce their fear of moving after the operation. 96 adults scheduled for hip replacement were split into two groups: one got the usual verbal instructions plus a video, the other got …

This study tested different amounts of numbing medicine (ropivacaine) and the addition of a steroid (dexamethasone) in a nerve block for hip replacement surgery. 120 adults were randomly assigned to one of four pain block recipes. The goal was to see which combination best delaye…

This study looked at whether a clinical Pilates exercise program can help reduce symptoms of hip osteoarthritis, like pain and stiffness. Fifty-two adults with hip osteoarthritis took part in either Pilates or standard exercises twice a week for 12 weeks. Researchers measured pai…

This study tested a mobile app that uses maps to help people who just had hip replacement surgery find nearby rehabilitation services. 142 adults who had a hip replacement used either the app or standard care (calling their doctor). The goal was to see if the app helps patients s…

This study tested whether a special nerve block (PENG block) can reduce surgical stress and pain after total hip replacement. Sixty older adults (ages 60-100) received either the block or standard care during spinal anesthesia. Researchers measured inflammation markers and painki…

This study tested a new treatment for hip osteoarthritis using a person's own fat tissue. Doctors took a small amount of fat, broke it up to release stem cells, and injected it into the painful hip joint. The goal was to see if it was safe and could reduce pain and improve moveme…

This study looked at how often people develop new low back pain after having hip replacement surgery for arthritis. Researchers followed 618 adults aged 18 to 70 who had the surgery between 2010 and 2021. The goal was simply to observe and count how many experienced their first e…

This study looked at how much the ACTIS hip stem moves (subsides) within the first two years after hip replacement surgery. Researchers used special X-ray techniques to measure this movement in 64 adults with hip osteoarthritis. The goal was to compare these results with known pa…

This study examined 72 people with hip osteoarthritis to see if X-ray severity matches their pain, physical function, and balance. Participants completed pain questionnaires, walking tests, and balance challenges. The goal was to better understand the connection between imaging a…

This study continued watching 82 people who already had a hip replacement to see how well their new hip held up over two years. Researchers used special X-rays to measure any movement of the implant and checked how well patients could move and function. The goal was to learn more…

This study looked at 30 adults getting hip replacement surgery to see how their heart fitness (VO2 max) changed before and after the operation. Researchers used a chest sensor to estimate fitness levels without exercise. The goal was to test if this method works for tracking reco…

This study looked at how much a short hip replacement stem settles (subsides) in people with a specific thigh bone shape called DORR Type C, which has thinner bone and a wider canal. Researchers measured stem movement and tracked pain, function, and quality of life in 108 patient…
