Prospective, single-center that may go on to being multicenter, randomized trial comparing platelet rich plasma (PRP) versus corticosteroid injection for the treatment of symptoms of Hip osteoarthritis. The purpose of the study is to determine which therapy provides a greater reduction in patient reported outcome measures of pain and function.
The GOLF study is a multicenter, prospective study with the goal to investigate golfers' return to the sport following hip, knee or shoulder arthroplasty. The prevalence of return to golf, by level of returning to golf will be assessed at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months postoperatively. Patients who are active golfers undergoing joint replacement will be identified from outpatient clinics and pre-assessment clinics and given information about the study at least two weeks prior to surgery. Participants in this study must have a desire to return to golf after surgery. Previous studies have only been able to report the return to golf after arthroplasty retrospectively; the prospective nature of this study will allow for a greater understanding of this process.
Compared to the knee and shoulder, the hip joint leaves relatively little space to maneuver arthroscopic instruments and camera. To expand the potential space in the hip joint, traction is commonly applied to the operative leg through a perineal post. This is an effective technique to improve the working space for arthroscopy, however it has been associated with complications, including perineal numbness. Traction pads, used alone or with a perineal post, can reduce pressure on the perineal area, thus reducing numbness. The investigators hypothesize that positioning hip arthroscopy patients using a traction pad on a standard traction table with a perineal post will reduce the incidence and duration of postoperative perineal numbness.
In order to continue progressing towards outpatient total hip arthroplasty (THA), methods to adequately manage postoperative pain is of paramount importance. The purpose of this study is to quantify the effectiveness of the pericapsular nerve block in total hip arthroplasty in comparison to the fascia iliaca nerve block.
The purpose of this research is to compare post-operative outcomes from patients undergoing TJA. The study team wants to learn about outcomes like length of hospital stay, post-operative pain scores, post-operative nausea, deep and superficial surgical site infection, periprosthetic fracture (a broken bone that occurs around an orthopaedic implant), implant dislocation, readmission rates, and revision rates.
This study will be a non-randomized, ambidirectional (retrospective and prospective) study where all subjects will be followed prospectively. The study will evaluate the survivorship of the RAS acetabular component in a previously failed total hip arthroplasty (THA) in a consecutive series of subjects who meet the eligibility criteria.
