Postoperative Hip Precautions After Total Hip Arthroplasty Via the Posterior Approach: a Prospective Randomized Trial
The purpose of this study is to determine if hip precautions, which are instructions that limit functional use of a hip replacement after surgery, affect the rate of dislocation in the first six weeks after primary total hip replacement surgery. The impact of hip precautions on a patient's return to activities of daily living and overall patient satisfaction will also be investigated. The overall cost effectiveness of hip precautions will be determined.

Post-Operative Thoracolumosacral Orthosis for PJK
Proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) is a common post-operative radiographic finding after surgery for adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients. Although the clinical relevance of isolated PJK is unclear, PJK can progress to symptomatic proximal junctional failures which requires a large revision surgery. Currently, post-operative bracing with a thoracolumbosacral orthosis (TLSO) is common practice after spinal deformity surgery, however the efficacy of this in preventing PJK is unknown. This multi-center randomized control trial identified 84 patients undergoing thoracolumbosacral fusion for ASD and plans to study the efficacy of a novel post-operative TLSO in preventing the...

Predicting Chronic Opioid Use Following Lower Extremity Joint Arthroplasty
Personalized medicine is a concept in which medical care is individualized to a patient based on their unique characteristics, including comorbidities, demographics, genetics, and microbiome. After major surgery, some patients are at increased risk of opioid dependence. By identifying unique genetic and microbiome markers, clinicians may potentially identify individual risk factors for opioid dependence. By identifying these high risk patients early-on, personalized interventions may be applied to these patients in order to reduce the incidence of opioid-dependence.

Predictors of Pain Relief From Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) in Multiple Forms of Chronic Pain Patients
The overall objective of this study is to better understand how Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is the most helpful in terms of management of chronic pain symptoms. The studies hypothesis is that an Interventional Response Phenotyping study (light phenotyping) can identify individuals with different underlying mechanisms for their pain who thus respond differentially to evidence-based interventions for chronic pain disorders.
