What this trial studies
This research focuses on the long-term outcomes of complex and conversion total hip arthroplasty procedures. It employs both retrospective chart reviews and prospective in-person clinic visits to gather data. The study utilizes validated patient-reported outcome measures, including the Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) and the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS), to analyze and summarize the outcomes over time. The goal is to assess changes in patient outcomes compared to previous findings at various follow-up intervals.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are individuals who have undergone a conversion total hip arthroplasty more than five years ago or a complex total hip arthroplasty more than ten years ago by a UNC Health-affiliated physician.
Not a fit: Patients under 18 years of age or those who are incarcerated will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the long-term effectiveness and patient satisfaction following complex hip surgeries.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown success in evaluating long-term outcomes of hip arthroplasty, making this approach both relevant and supported by existing literature.
