Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the time to total hip replacement in patients with hip osteoarthritis going through both a supervised exercise program and patient education compared to patients going through patient education only. The null hypothesis is: There are no differences in time to total hip replacement between patients with hip osteoarthritis who went through a 12 week supervised exercise program and patient education compared to patients who went through patient education only. Material and methods: 109 patients with both symptomatically and radiographically verified hip osteoarthritis were included in this randomized controlled trial between april 2005 and october 2007. They were randomized to either a 12 week supervised exercise program and patient education (n=55) or patient education only (n=54). Information on if and when total hip replacement is performed will be collected between April 1st and May 1st. Time since inclusion to follow-up will range from 3.5 to 6 years. Data will be collected directly from the study participants by telephone. The main outcome is time to total hip replacement. Status: This study is a prolongation of an on-going RCT (3a-2005-NAR) using clinical outcomes to evaluate the effect of supervised exercise and patient education. The study will be carried out: NAR-Department of Orthopedics, Ullevaal University Hospital.

Conditions

• Hip Osteoarthritis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	A 12 week supervised exercise program and patient education	The exercise protocol included exercises from former studies on comparable patient populations. The intensity of the strength- and flexibility exercises meets the American College of Sports Medicine's (ACSM) recommendations for developing and maintaining muscular fitness in adults. Patients was required to exercise for approximately 60 minutes, to-three days a week for 12 weeks. Patient's attendance to the exercise program (compliance) was registered. All patients included in the study participated in a patient education program which included two individual and three small-group sessions lasting one hour each time.
OTHER	Patient education	All patients included in the study participated in a patient education program which included two individual and three small-group sessions lasting one hour each time.
