Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of total hip arthroplasty and conservative treatment to hip pain, to activities of daily life and to the quality of life in patients with hip osteoarthritis.
Detailed Description
The purpose of this randomized controlled study is to compare the effect of total hip arthroplasty and conservative treatment (that consists of self-driven exercises that physical therapists teach to the patients) to hip pain, to activities of daily life and to the quality of life in patients with hip osteoarthritis. Also the ill effects and cost effectiveness of total hip arthroplasty and conservative treatment are evaluated. Further more the aim is to investigate if total hip arthroplasty alleviates osteoarthritic pain in 12-month follow-up and if it enhances performance and quality of life.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Hip osteoarthritis that is in X-ray pictures ≥2 in Kellgren - Lawrence classification
- •Primary osteoarthritis
- •Patients symptoms of hip osteoarthritis are so severe, that an experienced orthopedist would suggest total hip arthroplasty as a treatment
Exclusion Criteria
- •Patients symptoms are so severe that total hip arthroplasty should be done within the next three months
- •ASA \> 3 (ASA physical status classification system)
- •Normal contraindications to surgery
- •Previous surgery to the same hip that has the osteoarthritis (including total hip arthroplasty, surgery for fracture, osteotomy, arthroscopy)
- •The referring orthopedist has placed the patient in line for hip arthroplasty
- •Secondary osteoarhritis
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC)
Time Frame: From baseline to one year
The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) is a widely used, proprietary set of standardized questionnaires used by health professionals to evaluate the condition of patients with osteoarthritis of the knee and hip, including pain, stiffness, and physical functioning of the joints. The WOMAC measures five items for pain (score range 0-20), two for stiffness (score range 0-8), and 17 for functional limitation (score range 0-68). Physical functioning questions cover everyday activities such as stair use, standing up from a sitting or lying position, standing, bending, walking, getting in and out of a car, shopping, putting on or taking off socks, lying in bed, getting in or out of a bath, sitting, and heavy and light household duties. Higher scores indicate worse pain, stiffness, and functional limitations.
Harris Hip Score (HHS)
Time Frame: From baseline to one year
The Harris Hip Score (HHS) is a clinician-based outcome measure frequently used for the evaluation of patients following a total hip arthroplasty. Four subscales make up HHS. The first is pain, which measures pain severity (44 points); function, which is made up of daily activities and gait (47 points); the absence of deformity, which is a subscale that measures hip flexion, adduction, internal rotation, leg length discrepancy and range of motion measures.(4 points), and range of motion (5 points). The survey has 10 question items and scores range from 0-100 with higher scores representing less dysfunction and better outcomes.
