Postoperative delirium is a common and serious complication in older adults undergoing total hip arthroplasty, associated with prolonged hospitalization, increased morbidity, delayed rehabilitation, and long-term cognitive decline. Modifiable perioperative risk factors include uncontrolled postoperative pain, opioid consumption, impaired early mobilization, and systemic inflammatory response. The Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block is a regional anesthesia technique targeting the sensory innervation of the anterior hip capsule and may provide effective analgesia while preserving motor function. Improved pain control and opioid reduction may decrease the incidence of postoperative delirium. This prospective, randomized, parallel-group controlled trial aims to evaluate whether the addition of ultrasound-guided PENG block to spinal anesthesia reduces the incidence of postoperative delirium within 72 hours after primary total hip arthroplasty in patients aged 65 years or older. Delirium will be assessed using the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) by blinded outcome assessors. Secondary outcomes include postoperative opioid consumption, pain intensity (NRS), time to first rescue opioid, postoperative nausea and vomiting, time to mobilization, block-related adverse events, and perioperative inflammatory indices (neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, and monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio). The study will enroll 144 patients randomized 1:1 to spinal anesthesia alone or spinal anesthesia plus PENG block.
NCT07584200
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn which of three regional anesthesia approaches provides better pain relief and safety for older adults having planned hip replacement surgery. Researchers will study people aged 60 years and older who are scheduled for elective total hip arthroplasty. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Which anesthesia method provides better pain control after surgery? Which method reduces the need for opioid pain medicines? Are there differences in side effects and recovery between the approaches? Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups. All participants will receive spinal anesthesia. One group will receive spinal anesthesia with intrathecal morphine. The other two groups will receive spinal anesthesia combined with a nerve block called the pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block, with or without the addition of dexamethasone. Participants will have their pain levels measured at regular times during the first two days after surgery. Researchers will also record opioid use, time to first pain medication, ability to move after surgery, length of hospital stay, and any side effects such as nausea or itching. Blood tests will be used to measure markers of inflammation. The results of this study may help doctors choose safer and more effective pain control strategies for people undergoing hip replacement surgery.

The investigators are going to observe the appearance of low back pain in patients who have undergone hip prosthesis surgery.
NCT05038709
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.

The study aims to estimate VO2 max levels at pre- and post-operative timepoints before and after hip arthroplasty surgery, using non-exercise-based measurement methods.
NCT06783452
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a clinical Pilates exercise program on reducing symptoms in individuals with hip osteoarthritis. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does a clinical Pilates exercise program have an effect on pain, range of motion, physical function, performance, spinal mobility, postural control, disability, self-efficacy, and quality of life in individuals with hip osteoarthritis? * Does a conventional therapeutic exercise program have an effect on pain, range of motion, physical function, performance, spinal mobility, postural control, disability, self-efficacy, and quality of life in individuals with hip osteoarthritis? Researchers will compare clinical pilates program to conventional therapeutic exercise program to see if exercise works to reducing hip osteoarthritis symptoms. Participants will: * Take clinical pilates or Conventional Therapeutic Exercise twice a week for 12 weeks * The patients will be assessed by a blind evaluator both before and after the treatment.
NCT06747494
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.
NCT04166227
The aim of the proposed study is to perform a comparative pilot, randomized controlled trial of hip arthroscopy versus definitive total hip arthroplasty (THA) for the treatment of early hip osteoarthritis (Tönnis Grade 1-2) in patients between the ages of 40-60 years.
NCT07327931
This study will compare three different versions of the Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block in adults aged 65 years and older who are undergoing surgery for hip conditions. The PENG block is a regional anesthesia technique that can reduce pain after surgery and decrease the need for strong opioid pain medications. All patients in the study will receive the PENG block with 20 mL of 0.2% ropivacaine, but they will be divided into three groups based on the additional medications used: Group 1: PENG block with ropivacaine plus 4 mg of dexamethasone given intravenously. Group 2: PENG block with ropivacaine plus 25 micrograms of dexmedetomidine given near the nerves and 4 mg of dexamethasone given intravenously. Group 3: PENG block with ropivacaine plus 25 micrograms of dexmedetomidine and 4 mg of dexamethasone given near the nerves. Both dexmedetomidine and dexamethasone are medications that may improve the strength and duration of nerve blocks. The main goal of this study is to determine which combination provides the best pain control after hip surgery, reduces the need for opioid medications, and improves patient comfort and recovery. We also aim to evaluate the safety and side-effects of each technique. We hypothesize that adding both dexmedetomidine and dexamethasone near the nerves will provide the longest and most effective pain relief when compared to intravenous administration alone. This trial may help identify the most effective PENG block formula for older adults undergoing hip surgery and could improve pain management, decrease complications related to opioids, and support faster recovery.
NCT07330999
This study will compare three versions of the Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block in adults aged 65 years and older who are undergoing hip surgery. The PENG block is a regional anesthesia technique used to reduce pain around the hip joint and may improve early recovery after surgery. All patients in the study will receive the PENG block using 20 mL of 0.2% ropivacaine. They will then be randomly assigned to one of three groups: Group 1: PENG block using ropivacaine only (no additional medications). Group 2: PENG block using ropivacaine with 4 mg of dexamethasone injected near the nerves. Group 3: PENG block using ropivacaine with 25 micrograms of dexmedetomidine injected near the nerves. Dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine are medications that may increase the duration and quality of regional anesthesia. It is not known whether adding one of these medications provides longer-lasting or better pain relief compared to using ropivacaine alone. The main purpose of this study is to determine whether the addition of dexamethasone or dexmedetomidine improves the effectiveness of the PENG block in relieving pain after hip surgery. The study will evaluate pain levels, opioid consumption, time to first rescue pain medication, need for additional analgesia, and recovery outcomes. Safety, side effects, and any block-related complications will also be monitored. The investigators hypothesize that adding either perineural dexamethasone or dexmedetomidine will result in longer and more effective pain relief compared with the standard PENG block without an adjuvant. This research may help identify the most effective form of the PENG block for older adults undergoing hip surgery and contribute to improved pain management, reduced opioid use, and better postoperative recovery.
NCT05972525
This clinical trial aims to investigate if shared decision-making, and the use of an in-consultation patient decision aid (PtDA), increases the decisional quality and therefore treatment satisfaction and outcome of patients with severe hip or knee osteoarthritis. Finally, an evaluation will be conducted on patient-reported outcomes on pain, physical function, quality of life (QoL), and patient satisfaction, up to one year after surgery.
NCT06768541
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a widely accepted procedure for the treatment of end-stage hip osteoarthritis. Neck preserving short stems have gained popularity in recent years, as they aim to preserve proximal femoral bone stock and enable a more physiological load transfer. However, the use of these stems in patients with specific femoral deformities, such as DORR Type C femurs, can present unique challenges. DORR Type C femurs are characterized by decreased cortical bone thickness and increased medullary canal width, which can impact the fit and stability of the femoral stem component. Short stem total hip arthroplasty has emerged as a potential solution for these patients, as it aims to preserve proximal femoral bone stock and improve load transfer to the surrounding bone. This study seeks to investigate the measured subsidence of short stem total hip arthroplasty in patients with DORR Type C femur configuration and the clinical outcomes associated with this approach.
NCT07288983
This randomized, double-blinded, controlled clinical trial compares three motor-sparing regional anesthesia techniques used for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing hip arthroplasty: the Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block, the suprainguinal Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block (S-FICB), and the Lumbar Erector Spinae Plane Block (L-ESPB). Although all three techniques are widely used in modern hip surgery, their relative analgesic efficacy, opioid-sparing potential, and impact on early functional recovery have not been directly compared in a single study. The primary objective is to determine which block provides the most effective postoperative analgesia while preserving motor function and facilitating early mobilization. Secondary objectives include comparisons of opioid consumption, pain scores at rest and during movement, time to first rescue analgesia, block-related adverse events, quadriceps strength, incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, and early functional outcomes. This study aims to identify the optimal motor-sparing regional anesthesia strategy for older adults undergoing hip arthroplasty.

We live in an increasingly aging society in which the incidence of osteoarticular diseases increases, among which osteoarthritis (OA) stands out. OA is a degenerative disorder of the different components of the joint leading to a progressive destruction of the same. The hip and knee being the most affected joints, OA presents multiple symptoms such as pain, stiffness and functional limitation, also causing psychological disorders such as anxiety, depression, quality of sleep and poor perception of quality of life. Conventional treatment is aimed at alleviating symptoms, but when conservative therapies fail in the more advanced stages of the disease, total joint replacement surgery or arthroplasty is the therapeutic option of choice. Strength physical exercise (PE) and aerobic training have been shown to be effective in OA, obtaining positive effects on the symptoms and on variables that deteriorate this disease. The concept of pre-habilitation or preoperative rehabilitation has been shown through other studies in different pathologies (cardiopulmonary and musculoskeletal) to have positive effects at a clinical and functional level, however, the planning of a pre-habilitation protocol in hip or knee arthroplasty is still controversial. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect that a prehabilitation program will produce and its possible usefulness in those subjects who are waiting for a hip or knee arthroplasty. It is expected to find favorable results that support this therapy when it comes to reducing postoperative recovery times, functional capacity and other psychological variables of interest. This powerful tool could represent a non-pharmacological and non-invasive therapy, as well as being useful and economical in the management of patients with OA in advanced stages.

To determine if there is a difference in wound healing and surgical site infection (SSI) rates using the Alexis wound retractor vs. not using it in longitudinal direct anterior approach total hip arthroplasty.
NCT07347821
The aim of this observational study is to determine content of rare metals and other elements, along with the levels of selected immunological parameters, in the tissue of the hip or knee joint in the course of degenerative diseases. Determining potential disturbances in the levels or functions of these parameters may in the future contribute to improving treatment - for example, through supplementation of deficient metals or modulation at the immunological level. The main question it aims to answer is: Are selected rare metals, trace elements and other selected immunological parameters lowered in the tissue of the hip or knee joint as well as in serum in the course of osteoarthritis?
NCT07327892
Pain after hip surgery is common in older adults and may limit early mobilization, increase the need for opioid medications, and contribute to complications such as delirium, nausea, or prolonged hospital stay. Effective postoperative pain management that preserves muscle strength and supports early rehabilitation is especially important in this population. Several analgesic strategies are currently used after hip surgery. Periarticular injection (PAI), administered by the surgeon during the procedure, is commonly used as part of standard care. The pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block is a newer ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia technique that targets the sensory nerves of the hip joint while sparing motor function. It may provide effective pain relief and facilitate early mobilization. However, it is unclear whether PENG block alone is superior to periarticular injection, and whether combining both techniques provides additional benefit. The aim of this randomized controlled clinical study is to compare three postoperative analgesic strategies in older adults undergoing hip surgery: PENG block alone, PENG block combined with periarticular injection, and periarticular injection alone. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three study groups. The primary hypothesis is that regional anesthesia with a PENG block, either alone or combined with periarticular injection, will provide superior postoperative pain control compared with periarticular injection alone. A secondary hypothesis is that the combination of PENG block and periarticular injection will offer additional analgesic benefit compared with PENG block alone. Outcomes assessed in this study will include postoperative pain intensity, need for additional pain medications, time to first mobilization, and the occurrence of adverse events relevant to older adults, such as hypotension, excessive sedation, or postoperative delirium. The results of this study may help determine the most effective and practical analgesic strategy for hip surgery in older adults and support evidence-based optimization of postoperative pain management.
