Total hip replacement

This trial tests whether a special balance training method, called perturbation-based balance training, can improve balance and reduce fall risk in people who have had a total hip replacement. Thirty participants will be randomly assigned to either this new training or convention…

This trial compares two types of surgical tools used during total hip replacement: single-use (disposable) reaming instruments and conventional reusable ones. The main focus is on the overall cost of surgery, including sterilization, materials, and operating room time. Researcher…

This study tested whether gabapentin, a drug for nerve pain, could reduce the need for morphine after hip replacement surgery. 103 adults received either gabapentin or a placebo before and for three days after surgery. The main goal was to see how much morphine they used, along w…

This study tests a communication tool called MyConnect Post-Op, which uses AI-guided conversations to support patients after knee or hip replacement surgery. About 650 adults aged 22 to 80 who are scheduled for joint replacement will use the app on their smartphones. The research…

This study compared a 3D-printed surgical guide (Corin OPS™) to standard methods for placing the hip socket during total hip replacement. The goal was to see if the guide leads to more accurate implant positioning, which could reduce the need for early revision surgery. 54 adults…

This study looked at 50 people who had hip replacement surgery at least 6 months earlier. Researchers compared how patients rated their own recovery on questionnaires with how they actually performed on physical tests like walking speed and balance. The goal was to see if these t…

This study looked at 80 patients who had surgery for an infected hip or knee replacement. The goal was to see if giving antibiotics before taking tissue samples during surgery affects the ability to detect the infection. Researchers compared results from patients who received ant…
