High vs Low Dose Dexamethasone on Complications in the Immediate Postoperative Phase After Periacetabular (GANZ) Osteotomy
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Dexamethasone for Hip Dysplasia and Postoperative Complications. Completed, enrolled 64 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a single preoperative high-dose steroid injection on complications in the immediate postoperative phase after periacetabular osteotomy. Primary outcome is the proportion of patients who have moderate to severe postoperative pain in the post anaesthesia care unit. Secondary outcomes are organspecific complications in the post anaesthesia phase, pain and nausea the first 5 days, wound infection and readmissions the first 30 days after surgery. The investigators hypothesize that the frequency of moderate to severe pain and organspecific complications in the post anaesthesia care unit will be lower among patients receiving high dose dexamethasone. The investigators hypothesize, that there will be no difference in wound infections or readmissions.
