ARTHROPLASTY, REPLACEMENT, HIP

This study tested if a new oral pill (Dimolegin®) works as well as standard injections (Clexane®) to prevent dangerous blood clots in patients having hip or knee replacement surgery. It involved 215 patients and directly compared the safety and effectiveness of the two methods. T…

This study tested whether physical rehabilitation helps people recover after hip or knee replacement surgery. Researchers compared two types of rehab (home-based and video-guided) against no formal rehab at all. The trial involved 169 Danish adults who had joint replacement due t…

This study compared two strong pain medications given through an IV after hip replacement surgery. It aimed to see if oxycodone caused 50% fewer side effects—like nausea, vomiting, and itching—than the commonly used morphine. The trial involved 246 adults recovering from hip surg…

This study aims to understand why some people feel their legs are different lengths after hip replacement surgery, even when X-rays show they are even. Researchers measured thigh tissue stiffness in 68 patients who had hip replacements at least a year earlier. They compared these…

This study tested a portable ultrasound device to see how reliably it could measure pelvic tilt (the angle of the pelvis). Researchers measured 3 healthy volunteers and 30 patients getting hip replacements to see if the device gave consistent readings between different operators.…

This international registry study aimed to track how well two specific brands of hip replacement parts (the Accolade stem and Trident/Tritanium cup) hold up over many years. It followed 472 adults with osteoarthritis who received these specific implants to see how long they laste…

This study aimed to find the best dose of a drug called tranexamic acid (TXA) for patients getting hip or knee replacements. TXA helps control bleeding during surgery, which can reduce the need for blood transfusions. Researchers tested how the drug was processed in the bodies of…
