After orthopedic surgeries like knee or hip replacement, some patients struggle to fully activate their muscles due to a condition called Arthrogenic Muscle Inhibition (AMI). AMI can slow recovery and make physical therapy less effective. This clinical trial is testing whether a special type of brain training-called neurofeedback visualization training-can help improve muscle activation and speed up recovery. In this study, patients will receive standard physical therapy after surgery. Half of them will also use a device that helps them "visualize" exercises while wearing a cap that reads brain signals (EEG). The cap tracks brain activity when patients imagine doing specific movements. A computer then shows a virtual avatar performing the movements, giving feedback in real time-like a video game controlled by the brain. The study includes patients recovering from one of four surgeries: 1. Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) 2. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) 3. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) 4. Hip arthroscopy (HA) for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) The goal is to see if this training improves muscle strength, movement, and daily function more than standard therapy alone. The study will take place at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago and enroll 240 adults, with 60 patients per type of surgery. Each participant will be followed for up to 6 months after surgery and complete strength tests, movement assessments, and questionnaires about their recovery. The hope is that combining brain training with physical therapy will lead to faster, more complete recoveries and improve how patients move after surgery.

Surgical wound complications following primary total hip arthroplasty remain a significant clinical challenge despite advances in wound care technologies. The optimal choice of dressing and frequency of dressing changes remain insufficiently investigated, particularly regarding their influence on wound healing and the wound microenvironment. This prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial aims to evaluate the impact of dressing type and dressing change frequency on surgical wound healing in patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty. Ninety patients will be allocated into three treatment groups receiving either a capillary-action dressing system (VACUTEX™) or standard dressings with different dressing change intervals. The study will assess time to complete wound epithelialization, postoperative wound complications, pain intensity, wound temperature, exudate pH, length of hospital stay, and time to suture removal. In addition, the study will investigate the potential role of wound temperature and exudate pH as early indicators of impaired healing and postoperative complications.

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.

Femoral neck fracture (FNF) is a worldwide health problem that can cause significant morbidity and mortality. Most femoral neck fractures are associated with a fall, and the risk factors include osteoporosis, chronic medication use, and reduced level of activity. Femoral neck fractures are among the most common injuries in the elderly, and their number continues to increase with a more aged population. In the elderly, femoral neck fractures may lead to significant mortality and morbidity, with impaired mobility and loss of independence. Given their high incidence and associated detrimental effects on patient lives. The femoral neck fracture is a major type of hip fracture, whose treatment includes internal fixation, hemiarthroplasty (HA), or total hip arthroplasty (THA). The decision depends on multiple variables, including fracture pattern, surgeon comfort, and the patient's age, health, and ambulatory status. Internal fixation is a preferred management option for young people or the elderly who are intolerant of prosthesis surgery. THA and HA are widely used in displaced femoral neck fractures in the elderly. Surgery in these patients is undertaken to facilitate nursing and provide timely pain relief, rapid mobilization, and accelerated rehabilitation In general, HA has the advantages of shorter operation time, less blood loss, less technical demand, less economic burden, and a lower dislocation rate. However, some patients treated with HA require conversion to THA due to complications such as acetabular erosion. THA, on the other hand, has been associated with superior patient satisfaction and better hip function, less acetabular erosion, and a lower revision rate. However, increased surgical complexity, operation time, and blood loss, as well as higher dislocation rates in THA for FNFs, remain a concern
NCT07226700
Total hip and knee joint replacements are among the most common and painful orthopedic procedures performed worldwide, often requiring intensive analgesia to support early ambulation and recovery. Despite widespread use of multimodal regimens, many patients still rely on opioids, which can cause sedation, nausea, constipation, and long-term dependency. Evaluating Suzetrigine in this high-need population may improve recovery trajectories, reduce opioid consumption, and support enhanced recovery protocols. Given the growing surgical volume and the emphasis on opioid-sparing strategies, rigorous investigation of Suzetrigine's efficacy in joint replacement is of high clinical value. In this study, patients undergoing primary total hip replacement will be randomized to receive either Suzetrigine or placebo for seven days, with the loading dose administered prior to surgery. The primary outcome is cumulative 48-hour opioid consumption in oral morphine equivalents starting from entry into the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU).
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?
NCT07240961
The Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) block or spinal erector block was first described in September 2016 by a Canadian team. It's a block that was initially used for the treatment of chronic thoracic neuropathic pain. The ESP block is one of the inter-fascicular blocks and it's an easy-to-perform technique.In the literature, it has been reported that Lumbar ESPB provides effective analgesia after a hip surgery. The purpose of this prospective randomized study was to compare the analgesic effects of the ultrasound-guided lumbar Erector Spinae Plane block on postoperative pain management versus the multimodal analgesia after total hip arthroplasty.

Early postoperative rehabilitation is an important issue for total hip arthroplasty, especially in older patients. This retrospective clinical trial is to assess the impact of peripheral nerve block anesthesia versus general anesthesia in older patients' early recovery outcomes after total hip arthroplasty.
NCT07040423
This study uses MRI imaging to evaluate the spread of local anesthetic following the administration of a pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block. The goal is to determine whether a distinct fascial plane exists between neurovascular structures, potentially explaining the block's observed clinical effectiveness.
NCT06964282
Background: In recent years, regional anesthesia has become more popular because it can reduce pain and the need for strong pain medications like morphine. For hip surgery, the PENG block is already known to be effective. A newer method, called the iliopsoas plane block (IPB), is very similar and has also shown good results in hip arthroscopy. However, these two techniques have never been directly compared in patients undergoing hip replacement surgery using the posterior approach. Goal: This study aims to see if the IPB is just as effective as the PENG block for controlling pain and helping patients recover well after hip replacement surgery. Method: 118 adult patients scheduled for hip replacement under spinal anesthesia will be randomly assigned to receive either: IPB: 7 ml of Ropivacaine 7.5 mg/ml PENG: 14 ml of Ropivacaine 3.75 mg/ml Both injections are given under ultrasound guidance 30 minutes before spinal anesthesia. Neither the patient, the surgeon, nor the data collector will know which technique was used. Post-Surgery Care: All patients will receive standard pain relief, including: Paracetamol every 6 hours Etoricoxib once a day Morphine via a patient-controlled pump for 48 hours Main Outcome Measured: The primary goal is to compare pain during movement 6 hours after surgery, using a pain scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain). The study will consider the two blocks equivalent if the difference in average pain scores is less than 1 point. Other Outcomes: Total morphine used in 48 hours Pain scores at rest and during movement at various time points Walking ability (2- and 6-minute walk tests, and timed-up-and-go test) Quality of recovery (using the QoR-15 questionnaire) Side effects of morphine Patient satisfaction Length of hospital stay Safety: Both techniques are safe and already used in clinical practice. Ultrasound guidance minimizes risks like nerve injury, bleeding, or infection. Conclusion: If the IPB is shown to be as effective as the PENG block, both can be considered reliable options for pain control and early recovery after hip replacement surgery.

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most common operations performed in orthopaedics to improve a patient's quality of life. Surgeons are constantly seeking to improve all aspects of care related to this procedure, whether it be improving implant technology, improving instrumentation or the technique involved in performing the procedure. In recent years, a new porous titanium coating has been introduced to promote good osseointegration of uncemented cups. High friction torque and a feeling of immediate anchorage provide excellent primary stability, while high porosity ensures bone growth providing secondary stability. With higher porosity than standard coatings, a greater volume of bone can be present in the porous surface, giving a proportional increase in force at the interface. he Mpact 3D Metal Monolith cup has been designed to provide greater range of motion and improved joint stability, with a reduced risk of dislocation. It is an innovative design that improves stability and provides a favourable environment for long-term biological metal-bone fixation. The current study aims to collect clinical and radiological data to assess the function of the operated hip and the stability of the Mpact 3D Metal Monolith cup at 2 years and survival at 5 years for the treatment of patients requiring hip arthroplasty.
