Joint Surgery for Osteoarthritis
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to gather information from patients before and after total joint replacement surgery, focusing on both short- and long-term outcomes. Researchers seek to understand patient feelings and function post-surgery by using surveys that measure pain, movement, and satisfaction. Those scheduled for total joint replacement in the knee or hip might be suitable for this trial. As a Phase 4 trial, this study examines how the already FDA-approved treatment benefits more patients, offering a chance to contribute to valuable research on long-term outcomes.
Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial team or your doctor.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research has shown that hip replacement surgery (THA) is generally safe for patients. One study found no serious problems except for one person who needed another surgery. After two years, 97.7% of the implants were still functioning well. The chance of dying within 90 days after the surgery was 1.1%. These results suggest that hip replacement is well-tolerated with a low risk of serious issues.
Similarly, knee replacement surgery (TKA) has a strong safety record. Studies indicate that about 90% of patients experience excellent or good outcomes. In the long term, patients who undergo knee replacement surgery tend to live longer than those who do not treat their knee arthritis. Another study found that the chance of dying within 45 days of surgery was low, at 0.20% in recent years.
Overall, both hip and knee replacement surgeries have demonstrated safety, with low rates of serious problems and high patient satisfaction.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about this trial because it aims to capture a detailed picture of both short- and long-term outcomes for total joint surgeries, specifically for knees and hips. Unlike current treatment options that focus on immediate post-surgery recovery, this registry offers a comprehensive approach to understanding how patients fare over time, potentially highlighting areas for improvement in these common procedures. By tracking diverse patient experiences, the trial could uncover insights that lead to enhanced surgical techniques or aftercare strategies, ultimately aiming to improve quality of life for those undergoing joint replacement.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for joint arthroplasty?
This trial will compare Total Hip Arthroplasty and Total Knee Arthroplasty. Studies have shown that hip replacement surgery successfully improves hip function and reduces pain. Research indicates that all surgical methods for hip replacement are safe and effective, with many patients experiencing long-term benefits. Knee replacement surgery also yields strong results, enhancing knee symptoms and physical function over time. Specifically, one study found that 78% of knee replacement patients reported good outcomes, including symptom improvement and satisfaction, one year after surgery. While most patients benefit from these surgeries, a small percentage may not see significant improvement.36789
