Summary

The study evaluates the pathophysiological effects of a single dose Methylprednisolone administered prior to total hip-arthroplasty (THA) surgery. The investigators examine the effect on immune signaling and recovery after surgery.

Half of participants will receive intravenous Solu-Medrol 125 mg, while the other half will receive placebo.

The investigators hypothesize that the group receiving Methylprednisolone will experience a positive modulation of the immune response and an enhanced recovery.
