Filter by:In this study, based on the hypothesis that dexmedetomidine administered intraoperatively for sedation can reduce postoperative pain than that of propofol, the investigators examined the ability of dexmedetomidine to reduce postoperative pain in in patients undergoing the total knee arthroplasty.
This is a retro-prospective, single arm, sequential enrolment study to collect relevant clinical and radiological data in at least 156 subjects, at up to 10 sites in Australia, who have been implanted with the EMPERION™ Modular Hip System in primary THA procedures to assess its safety and efficacy over 5 years post-surgery.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of local infiltration of liposomal bupivacaine versus use of an indwelling femoral peripheral nerve block in controlling early postoperative pain in primary total knee arthroplasty. The investigators hope to demonstrate equivalency of treatment modalities to provide an alternative to the commonly used treatment of femoral nerve blockade.
Autologous adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) was used to treat 10 osteoarthritic knees of grade II or III (K-L scale) under IRB-approved protocol in a feasibility and safety study. The adipose-derived SVF was obtained through disaggregation of lipoaspirate and resuspension of the SVF in 3 ml of Lactated Ringer's Solution, with a mean of 48 million nucleated SVF cells and a mean viability of 78%, injected per knee. Cell suspension was injected into the intra-articular space using ultrasound guidance. At 12 weeks post-op all 10 knees showed decreased pain and increased mobility, both statistically significant (α = .01). Nine of ten knees reported either maximum possible or very significant decrease in pain. No infections, acute pain flares, or other adverse events were reported. Patient ages ranged from 52 - 69 years with a mean of 59 years.
The purpose of this study is to assess the early and long term safety and efficacy of the hard-on-hard total hip replacement system (R3 ODH-ODH utilization) in patients with non-inflammatory arthritis.
The purpose of this study is to examine cultural and clinical context factors in African-American and white veterans with knee or hip osteoarthritis with a focus on how these factors may be potentially modifiable determinants of willingness to consider joint replacement.
