This study tests a prehabilitation program (exercises before surgery) for older adults waiting for a total hip replacement. The goal is to see if strengthening before surgery helps recovery afterward. It is for people with severe hip arthritis who are otherwise in good health.
This study tests whether adding a steroid medication (dexamethasone) through an IV line during hip replacement surgery reduces pain afterward. Researchers will compare three different doses to see which works best when combined with a nerve block (numbing medicine injected near the hip).
This trial tests if giving testosterone before hip arthroscopy (a minimally invasive hip surgery) helps men with low testosterone recover better. It is for men who have a hip impingement problem called FAI with a labral tear.
This study tests whether a single dose of steroids (dexamethasone) given during hip replacement surgery can improve your recovery and quality of life. It may help reduce pain and swelling after the procedure.
This trial tests if doing special exercises before knee replacement surgery helps you recover faster and better after the operation. If you have knee arthritis and are scheduled for surgery, you may be able to join.
This trial tests if taking vitamin D supplements helps people with osteoarthritis recover better after hip or knee replacement surgery. You may be eligible if you have low vitamin D levels and are scheduled for surgery.
