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

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 trial tests whether online educational modules or live webinars, completed before hip replacement surgery, can reduce anxiety and improve outcomes like pain, function, and quality of life. It involves adults aged 50 and older with advanced hip osteoarthritis who are schedule…

This study tests whether a new physiotherapist-led primary care model can improve function and quality of life for adults with hip or knee pain. About 728 participants in Canada will be assigned to either the new model or usual care. The goal is to see if this approach reduces pa…

This study tested whether a personalized, supervised home exercise program helps people recover better after total hip replacement compared to just receiving an exercise brochure. 44 people who had hip replacement surgery were split into two groups: one got a tailored exercise pl…

This study tested whether a clinical Pilates program can reduce symptoms of hip osteoarthritis. Fifty-two adults with hip OA were assigned to either clinical Pilates or standard therapeutic exercises twice a week for 12 weeks. Researchers measured pain, movement, balance, and qua…

This study looked at how much numbing medicine (ropivacaine) and whether adding dexamethasone affects pain control after hip replacement. 120 adults were split into four groups, each getting a different combination. The goal was to see which approach delays the need for strong pa…

This study tested whether a smartphone app with mapping technology helps people start rehabilitation sooner after hip replacement surgery. 142 adults who had a hip replacement used either the app or standard care (calling their family doctor). The app shows nearby rehab centers, …

This study tested a special insole that measures foot pressure to help people walk better after hip replacement surgery. 200 adults were split into four groups: some used the smart insole with real-time feedback, some without feedback, some used a different device, and some had s…

This study tested whether injecting a patient's own processed fat tissue into the arthritic hip joint could safely reduce pain and improve movement. Thirty adults with mild to moderate hip osteoarthritis received one ultrasound-guided injection. Researchers measured changes in pa…

This study tested whether a specific nerve block called PENG, using the numbing drug ropivacaine, could reduce surgical stress and pain after total hip replacement. Sixty older adults (ages 60-100) scheduled for hip surgery under spinal anesthesia received either the nerve block …

This study tested whether showing patients a short video about moving after hip replacement surgery could reduce their fear of movement and pain. 96 adults scheduled for hip replacement were split into two groups: one got the usual verbal instructions, and the other also watched …

This study compared two types of surgical retractors used during hip replacement surgery to see if one caused fewer infections. 144 patients were randomly assigned to receive either a Charnley retractor or an Alexis O-Ring retractor. The researchers took tissue samples during sur…

This study tested a device called NaviFast 6D, a miniature measuring arm used during hip replacement surgery to help surgeons check leg length and hip offset. Researchers compared measurements from the device to standard X-ray measurements in 84 adults undergoing hip replacement.…

This study looked at different questionnaires that patients fill out after hip or knee surgery to see how well they measure recovery. Researchers wanted to find better ways to compare results across studies and understand what counts as a meaningful improvement for French patient…

This study looked at 618 people aged 18 to 70 who had hip replacement surgery to see if they developed new low back pain afterward. Researchers tracked how many patients experienced their first episode of low back pain after the procedure. The goal was simply to observe and measu…

This study looked at whether drinking whey protein and doing simple home exercises for two weeks before hip replacement surgery helps people recover faster. Researchers measured blood markers, how soon patients could walk, and how long they stayed in the hospital. The goal is to …

This study tested a new way to measure heart fitness (VO2 max) in 30 people before and after hip replacement surgery. Participants wore a small chest sensor to estimate VO2 max without exercise. The goal was to see if this method can track natural recovery over 12 weeks. It is a …

This study looked at 72 people with hip osteoarthritis to see if X-ray findings match how they feel day-to-day. Researchers measured pain, stiffness, physical function, and balance, then compared those to X-ray severity scores. The goal was to better understand the connection bet…

This study followed 135 people who received a specific type of hip replacement implant (SL-PLUS MIA stem) for up to 10 years. The goal was to see how long the implant lasts, check for problems like loosening or infection, and track X-ray changes. Participants had standard follow-…

This study looked at 110 adults with different hip problems, such as arthritis or labral tears, to understand how these conditions affect posture, muscle strength, balance, pain, and quality of life. Researchers used special 3D imaging and pain tests to measure these factors. The…

This study followed 82 people who had hip replacement surgery to see how well their new hip implants stayed in place over two years. Researchers used special X-rays to measure any movement of the implant and also checked how well patients could move and function. The goal was to …

This study measured how much the ACTIS hip stem moves (subsides) over two years after hip replacement surgery in 64 people with hip osteoarthritis. Researchers used a special X-ray technique called RSA to compare the implant's movement to published data for similar hip stems. The…

This large observational study followed over 288,000 people with hip or knee osteoarthritis who received core treatment (education, exercise, and weight loss advice). The goal was to identify factors like socioeconomic status and other health conditions that predict long-term out…
