February 1, 2024 updated by: Matthias Mäurer, University of Jena

Comparative Analysis of Radiotherapeutic and Medical Procedures for the Prophylaxis of Heterotopic Ossifications in the Context of Total Hip Arthroplasty

Aim of this study is to proof the efficacy of in Jena established prophylaxis of new bone formation aside the skeleton with irradiation and compare it with the common literature. Furthermore we want to compare irradiation treatment with the alternative prophylaxis with analgetics from the NSAID type.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Aim of this retrospective analysis is to compare the incidence of heterotopic ossification one year after total hip arthroplasty with the at our location established concept of irradiation 24h preoperative and incidence in common literature. Furthermore the comparison between irradiated patients and patients treated with NSAIDs.
