NCT00968903
Brief Summary:
The purpose of the study is to compare the effects of pre-operative methylprednisolone (125mg iv) versus placebo on postoperative outcome after hip arthroplasty.
The hypothesis is that pre-operative methylprednisolone (125mg iv) will reduce time to fulfill discharge criteria.
Detailed Description:
In spite of being one of the last century's most successful surgical procedures in treatment of advanced osteoarthritis total hip arthroplasty is still associated with postoperative pain and delayed rehabilitation. The investigators therefore decided to evaluate the effects of pre-operative methylprednisolone (125mg iv) versus placebo on postoperative outcome in a well defined fast-track setup after hip arthroplasty.
