The research program concentrates on advanced anesthesia and pain‑relief methods for patients undergoing joint replacement surgery, aiming to improve comfort and reduce reliance on rescue medication.

• Preoperative intra‑articular infiltration of the hip joint
• Optimization of postoperative analgesia protocols
• Evaluation of novel local anesthetic combinations

A key study investigates whether a targeted injection of ropivacaine and adrenaline before surgery can lower the need for additional pain medication after total hip arthroplasty.

This area explores strategies to prevent blood clots in patients receiving hip or knee replacements, focusing on personalized anticoagulation to balance efficacy and safety.

• Individualized thrombosis prophylaxis based on patient risk
• Comparison of standard versus intensified anticoagulant regimens
• Assessment of bleeding complications alongside clot prevention

Researchers at Equipe Zorgbedrijven Nederland B.V. aim to identify the optimal approach to protect against venous thromboembolism while minimizing adverse bleeding events.

The focus here is on outcomes of joint replacement procedures, particularly the occurrence of clotting events across different patient risk groups.

• Incidence of symptomatic VTE after arthroplasty
• Risk stratification for low, intermediate, and high VTE risk patients
• Impact of prophylaxis strategies on postoperative recovery

Ongoing trials evaluate how tailored anticoagulant protocols affect safety and recovery for individuals undergoing total knee and hip arthroplasty.
