Filter by:This study will evaluate patients receiving a multihole revision acetabular implant for total hip arthroplasty (THA) and will be followed for 10 years to collect data on survivorship of the implanted prosthesis.
This study is a single centre, non-randomised, post market clinical follow up examining retrospective patient data from a series of surgical cases; which involved the endoprosthetic replacement of the proximal humerus using the Stanmore Implant Worldwide METS (Modular Endoprosthetic Tumour System) Proximal Humeral system. The objective of this study is to evaluate the retrospective patient data where patients have been followed up for at least 12 months post operation; to demonstrate the safety of the METS Proximal Humeral replacement system.
In total hip arthroplasty, cup anteversion is an important factor in stability. Lewinnek's safe zone and functional anteversion are often used to assess appropriate orientation. However, these approaches do not consider the effect of the spinopelvic chain and lumbar mobility when in the seated position. This study will measure functional anteversion when standing and sitting with patient-specific computer models and define a quantitative relationship between the change in functional anteversion and spinopelvic parameters. This will challenge the historical paradigm of the safe zone and provide a tool to define anteversion based on a patient's mechanics and reduce risk of dislocation.
Patients with a total hip replacement may require early revision surgery due to an adverse local tissue reaction or bone resorption that occurs due to wear debris released from the implant. MRI provides a non-invasive biomarker for clinicians and surgeons to detect early adverse synovial reactions which may exist in the absence of clinical symptoms, thus imparting essential information for clinical management. This study will address two of the most commons causes of hip implant failure, including adverse local tissue reaction in implants not traditionally associated with adverse tissue reactions, as well as the presence of aseptic loosening and loss of implant-bone integration.
Randomized Controlled Study to determine if preservation of ligaments provides increased functional ability post-operatively in comparison to traditional TKA which sacrifices soft tissue.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate quality of life, degree of disability, treatment patterns and economic impact of hand and knee Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis in Mexico.
To compare side effects and complications relating to use of warfarin or rivaroxaban, tolerance and/or toxicity of these two agents such as drop in hemoglobin post operatively, extent of bruising, quantity of wound drainage, duration of drainage, wound swelling, sub and supra-therapeutic prothrombin times, need for transfusion, and patient tolerance in two randomized groups. Return visits to the operating room, length of stay, and VTE rates will also be compared.
To the Investigators' knowledge, TXA has not been studied in the setting of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. We propose a double-blinded, randomized, controlled trial comparing perioperative administration of TXA to placebo in the setting of RTSA. The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of TXA in reducing overall blood loss and transfusion rates in patients undergoing reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.
A better understanding of knee joint kinematics is important to explain the premature polyethylene wear failures within total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) and to help design a prosthesis that most closely approximates the normal knee. Previously, most experimental studies of knee kinematics have involved cadaveric, in vitro analyses, or have not tested the knee in a weight-bearing mode. Others have used exoskeletal linkages and skin markers that permit error due to undesired motions between markers and the underlying bone. More recently, fluoroscopy has been used to assess in vivo kinematics for subjects having a TKA. ConforMIS has attempted to follow a clearly different path than the major orthopaedic companies. They have chosen to offer patients a personalized knee implant based off of each patient's femoral and tibial bone geometry. The hypothesis is that these subjects will experience a more normal-like kinematic pattern, eliminating paradoxical anterior sliding during weight-bearing knee flexion. Therefore, the objective for this study is to analyze the in vivo kinematics for 25 patients implanted with a personalized ConforMIS TKA and 25 patients implanted with a traditional TKA design to determine if there are any kinematic differences between these TKA designs.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical performance of the Arcos Revision Stem system, determine the stability of the implants, and evaluate any relationship between Paprosky bone defect level and the success of the Arcos Stem.
