Filter by:Trial to assess the bilateral deficit phenomenon during dynamic plantar flexion task in patients with haemophilic arthropathy Describe the differences in terms of the physical variables (muscular strength, range of motion and proprioception) in patients with hemophilia who have conducted a home treatment with a digital tool. Bookmark the relationship between clinical history of joint bleeds and clinical manifestations in standing and walking.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of a hope-based intervention on clinical and experimental pain in individuals with temporomandibular disorder (TMD). To examine the effectiveness of this intervention, a two-arm randomized trial will be conducted with 50 individuals, between the ages of 18 and 65, who have TMD.
The combination of ultrasound and muscular stretching may have positive effects on pain relief and on the balance of the masticatory muscles activity.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of a negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) system after revision total knee and hip arthroplasty in patients at high risk for infection. It is hypothesized that the use of NPWT system (i.e., Prevena) in high risk patients prevents wound complications and decreases reoperation rates.
In this prospective, randomized study, investigators will look at the outcome of total hip arthroplasty through the anterior approach in regard to the surgical treatment of the anterior hip capsule. At this time, there are 2 different techniques: one is excising this capsule and the second one is cutting the capsule and repairing it at the end of the procedure. The investigators set out to determine whether incising or repairing the capsule will benefit the patients in terms of postoperative pain level, range of motion of the hip joint, joint stability, surgical time and blood loss. Both preserving and excising the joint capsule are accepted techniques in performing total hip arthroplasty. The Investigators hypothesize that capsulectomy may allow for reduction in operative time, provide superior surgical exposure, and increased range of motion after surgery. The influence on post operative pain and dislocation rate is unknown.
This study is intended to gather medium (5- to 7-years) and long-term (minimum 8- to 10-years) information regarding the performance and safety of the commercially available 36mm CERAMAX® Ceramic on Ceramic (COC) Total Hip System from a cohort of study subjects that were previously enrolled in the IDE study. (COC = 36mm ceramic acetabular bearing insert component that articulates with a ceramic femoral head in the COC total hip replacement system)
Evaluate Survivorship for the Biomet® Comprehensive® Reverse Shoulder Mini Baseplate.
Total knee replacement is one of the most commonly performed orthopedic procedures. As of 2010, about 600,000 total knee replacements were being performed annually in the United States and these numbers are rising. The normal knee joint functions as a complex hinge allowing primarily flexion and extension, rotation and gliding. The knee joint is made up of three compartments, the lateral, medial and anterior (patellofemoral). Damage to the cartilage of one or more compartments may be the result of osteoarthritis (idiopathic or post-traumatic), inflammatory arthritis (rheumatoid,psoriatic, etc.), a-vascular necrosis, tumors, or congenital deformities. Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are the causes of the overwhelming majority of total joint arthroplasties. A successful Total knee arthroplasty(TKA) surgery includes: an accurate alignment( the mechanical axis in axial and rotational planes), as well as significant pain relief which improves function and quality of life. Incorrect alignment can lead to abnormal wear, premature mechanical loosening of the components and patellofemoral problems. The common techniques for Total knee replacement are: 1. Conventional method TKR 2. CT/MRI-based preoperative navigated TKR 3. Image-free intraoperative navigated TKR In our research we focus on the 3rd method using the Orthopilot navigation system Aesculap®, Tutlingen, Germany. This system is an active PC based guiding system that helps the surgeon decide on the accurate alignment and orientation of the implant and cutting surfaces of the bone and thus avoid incorrect alignment. We aim to compare between pre-operative and post-operative lower limb alignment (mechanical axis) in Aesculap based TKA using serview CT. Furthermore, we will try to examine the existence of a correlation between the CT scans and the Orthopilot navigation system output and assess the clinical outcome of the patient postoperatively. Our Hypothesis is that the intra-operative navigation system is accurate and correlated to CT images results, moreover, allows the surgeon to achieve a good mechanical axis and high clinical outcome,
The aim of this study is to assess safety and general performance of total hip arthroplasty, composed of a Meije Duo® femoral stem associated with a Dynacup® cup, and using the friction pair Biolox® Delta Ceramic.
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.
