HIP OSTEOARTHRITIS

This study compared two types of hip implants (Avenir and Corail) in 56 people with hip osteoarthritis who needed a hip replacement. The goal was to see if the newer implant stays in place as well as the older one over two years. Participants were followed with special X-rays to …

This study tested whether a mobile app with mapping technology helps patients find rehabilitation services sooner after hip replacement surgery. 142 adults who had a hip replacement used either the app or standard care. The app shows nearby rehab centers, available appointments, …

This study tested whether injecting a person's own fat tissue into the hip joint can safely reduce pain and improve movement in hip osteoarthritis. Thirty adults aged 40 to 70 with mild to moderate hip arthritis received one ultrasound-guided injection. Researchers tracked pain, …

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

This study tested 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 received standard verbal instructions plus a video, the other onl…

This study looked at how much numbing medicine (ropivacaine) and whether adding a steroid (dexamethasone) affects pain after hip replacement surgery. 120 adults having hip replacement were given one of four different combinations of these medicines around the hip nerve. The goal …

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 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 continued to monitor 82 people who had hip replacement surgery as part of earlier trials. Researchers tracked how stable the new hip implants were over two years using special X-rays and measured how well patients could move and function. No new treatments were given; …

This study looked at 618 adults who had hip replacement surgery to see how many developed low back pain for the first time afterward. Researchers only observed patients and did not give any treatment. The goal was to understand the link between hip surgery and new back pain.

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

This study looked at how well the heart works (VO2 max) in 30 adults before and after hip replacement surgery for osteoarthritis. Researchers used a chest sensor to estimate heart fitness without exercise tests. The goal was to see if this method can help track recovery after sur…

This study looked at 800 people with hip or knee osteoarthritis to see if different patient questionnaires can be linked together. The goal was to help doctors compare results across studies and find out what score change actually matters to patients. No new treatment was tested;…

This study looked at 72 people with hip osteoarthritis to see if X-ray findings match how they feel and move. Researchers measured pain, stiffness, walking speed, and balance, then compared them to X-ray severity. The goal was to better understand the link between X-ray images an…

This study looked at 108 people who got a short-stem hip replacement and had a specific thighbone shape (DORR Type C), which has a wider inner canal and thinner outer bone. Researchers measured how much the stem settled into the bone over time and checked pain and function scores…
