Ultrasound-assisted psoas tenotomy for hip injuries
Psoas Tenotomy Under Ultrasound
This study is testing a new ultrasound-guided surgery to help people with hip pain after a hip replacement by fixing issues with a tendon that gets pinched.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial investigates the use of ultrasound-assisted psoas tenotomy to address ilio-psoas conflict following total hip replacement. The procedure aims to alleviate pain caused by mispositioned acetabular components that interfere with the ilio-psoas tendon. By utilizing ultrasound guidance, the trial seeks to minimize scarring and reduce the need for complex surgical infrastructure. Previous cadaveric studies have confirmed the feasibility and safety of this technique, paving the way for its application in live patients.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older who require psoas tenotomy due to complications after total hip replacement.
Not a fit: Patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have contraindications to surgery will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could provide a less invasive option for patients suffering from hip pain due to ilio-psoas conflict.
How similar studies have performed: While no studies have specifically described ultrasound-assisted psoas tenotomy, the feasibility of the technique has been confirmed in cadaveric studies, indicating potential for success.
