Osteoarthritis, Hip Clinical Trials

There is a growing interest in the effects of mental health and wellness on orthopedic intervention outcomes, not only in terms of how advances in surgical procedures influence patient outcomes, but also with regard for physician physical and mental well-being. Although total hip arthroplasty (THA) is associated with favorable clinical outcomes as assessed by surgeon evaluation, radiographic analysis and implant longevity, unfavorable long-term pain and quality of life outcomes are consistently observed in upwards of 20% of patients receiving THAs. As such, the need to understand and address the determinants of positive and negative outcomes is of critical importance if the field hopes to continue to advance strategies to improve long-term outcomes for joint replacement. The overarching goal of this application is to assess the benefits of the KINCISE for patient recovery outcomes related to physical and mental well-being. Read Less

Will injection(s) of autologous culture-expanded AMSCs be safe and efficacious for treatment of painful Hip OA, and if so, which dosing regimen is most effective? Read Less

The main objectives of this study are to confirm the long-term safety, performance and clinical benefits the Avenir Complete femoral stem and its instrumentation when used in primary total, hemi, and revision hip arthroplasty. Read Less

This study aims to evaluate behavioral interventions in conjunction with medical rehabilitation to promote functional health in patients recovering from orthopedic surgery. Half of the subjects in this study will be assigned to an intervention that meets with a study therapist to discuss implementing healthy habits. The other half of subjects will assigned to an intervention group that meets with a study therapists to discuss implementing healthy sleep habits. Both groups will undergo several physical and cognitive assessments. Read Less

The purpose of this trial is to determine if radiofrequency ablation plus steroid perineural injections at the knee or hip provide longer pain relief and better function to patients than the current standard of care, perineural steroid injections alone. This pilot study is a prospective two arm randomized trail, all participants will be recruited from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW) outpatient orthopedic clinic. 40 participants (20 hip and 20 knee OA) will be enrolled into the standard of care arm (treated with steroid injections alone) and 40 participants (20 hip and 20 knee OA) will be enrolled into the investigational arm (treatment with a combination of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) plus steroid injections) for a total of 80 enrolled participants. All subjects will complete a function and pain assessment at the time of injection and three additional time points: 2 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months post injection. This study will use the same knee function questionnaire and frequency currently used in clinic per standard of care. In addition, all participant's surgical history and prior injection history will be reviewed via the Electronic Medical Record (EMR). Read Less

The main objectives of this study are to confirm the long-term safety, performance, and clinical benefits of the G7 Acetabular Shells when used with the Vivacit-E and Longevity HXLPE liners and instrumentation in primary and revision total hip arthroplasty. Read Less

The primary objective of this study is to study how low-impact group exercise classes affect pain scores in patients with knee, hip, and ankle pain when paired with concurrent standard of care dietitian and behavioral health consults. Read Less

This is a randomized clinical trial (RCT) to assess the efficacy of bariatric surgery vs medical weight loss vs. the "usual standard of care" to optimize a morbidly obese patient with end-stage osteoarthritis of the hip or knee joint for total joint arthroplasty (TJA). The study population will include patients with hip or knee joint osteoarthritis and BMI (Body Mass Index) > 40 kg/m2 who are evaluated in the joint arthroplasty clinic at Boston Medical Center. The primary objective of the study is to determine if bariatric surgery or medical weight loss is more effective than the usual standard of care in optimizing a morbidly obese patient with osteoarthritis of the hip or knee joint for TJA. This will be determined by comparing the number of patients within each group who are able to lose weight through either bariatric surgery, medical weight loss, or the usual standard of care to achieve a BMI ≤ 40 kg/m2 to eventually undergo TJA. The secondary objectives of this study are to compare total operative time, postoperative complication rates, readmission rates, percentage of total body weight lost, revision rate, and reoperation rate. The ability of patients within each study arm to maintain a BMI ≤ 40 kg/m2 for up to 2 years after undergoing TJA will also be assessed, as well as their level of satisfaction before and after being in the study.

The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of the HIT Reverse Hip Replacement System is safe and effective in patients undergoing total hip replacement. We will determine whether it is safe and effective by comparing it to the control devices. Read Less

It is very important to understand joint and body kinematics and muscles activity in clinical settings, which is relevant to identify issues related to the spine, the upper and lower limbs due to injury. In this study, the investigators will use an innovative platform, Showmotion to establish baseline of shoulder, hip, knee and spine kinematics and muscles activity from 60 healthy volunteers.

Use of Biocellular and cellular approaches to treatment of Osteoarthritis (OA), musculoskeletal aging processes, pain, and degenerative changes are to be studied with minimally invasive protocols, and non-pharmaceutical means to relieve OA and its associated issues. Traditional surgical interventions have not yielded convincing long-term outcomes, including total joint replacement surgeries and medical management of the supportive structures. This study is to use a person's own stem/stromal Cells (autologous) plus HD-PRP (important healing growth factors and signal molecules) in such cases of OA for long-term minimally invasive treatments. Baseline (existing) findings are documented, and thence tracked as to progress deemed to be result of the intervention. Read Less

The objective of this study is to evaluate patient outcomes in regards to safety and effectiveness based on the clinical performance of the reference devices to further support the assessment of residual risk identified in the Clinical Evaluation Report for the Ortho Development Hip System.
