Filter by:Meniscal injuries are a common pathology among athletes, and have an impact on the daily or sporting practice of patients. Surgical approach implies sometimes heavy consequences. Platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) has been shown to be effective in accelerating wound healing and tissue regeneration in orthopedic and oral surgery. This clinical trial aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of intraarticular and periferal PRP injection in patients with stable meniscal injury. The pre- and post-interventional clinical outcomes will be compared.
This study will compare meniscal healing of non-vascularised area augmented or not by bone marrow injected under a protective collagen membrane (meniscal wrapping)
Meniscal lesions are a common pathology among athletes, and have an impact on the daily or sporting practice of patients. The consequences of surgical treatment are sometimes heavy. Platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) has been shown to be effective in healing tendon and ligament lesions. PRP has been injected under ultrasound in tendons or intra-articularly for several years. This technique of meniscal percutaneous injection of PRP is now carried out for more than 2 years in our hospital, with satisfactory preliminary results, without any complication. All patients in our study received an intra-meniscal injection of PRP, under echographic control. They were evaluated clinically and by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) before and at 6 months of the injection. The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of intra-meniscal injection of PRP on the symptomatology of the patients (pain, sport activities and daily life) at 6 months post-treatment.
The proposed study will compare the efficacy of Triamcinolone versus Ketorolac for intra-articular injection of the knee and shoulder
clinical examination alone is usually insufficient in assessment of knee meniscus and a more reliable diagnosis can be achieved by using the knee ultrasound , magnetic resonance imaging. magnetic resonance imaging is considered the most noninvasive diagnostic method of detecting lesions of the intra-articular reliable knee structures. However, there are recent reports concluding that ultrasound is a valid technique for diagnosing meniscal lesions, even though it is not part of the standard protocol for evaluating injuries to the intra-articular knee structures.
The aims of the project are to 1) evaluate different aspects of muscle function and its role as a potential risk and/or protective factor for traumatic knee injury in youth female athletes; 2) develop and evaluate a battery of muscle function tests, easily used and requiring minimal equipment, to be applied as an on-the-field screening tool to detect muscle function deficiencies and monitoring youth female athletes at high risk of traumatic knee injury. A prospective cohort design will be used, including approximately 100 female athletes (age 15-19) from Swedish senior sports high schools who are involved in high risk sports (soccer, handball, floorball and basket). A test battery for muscle function has been developed consisting of 11 tests that previously have been used for the assessment of muscle function. The tests will be instructed and supervised by educated test leaders. Measurements will take place at the athletes' school and carried out during the first semester (autumn 2017 and 2018). Data on injury surveillance and exposure (hours of match and training participation) will be collected prospectively over two years using a web-designed registration form. All athletes will on a weekly basis report their hours of training, minutes of match play and all time-loss injuries occurring during sport activity. Details on injury mechanism and diagnosis will be collected by each school's medical staff. The present study will contribute new knowledge on the role of muscle function and develop and evaluate a battery of muscle function tests to be used as an on-the-field screening tool for monitoring youth female athletes at high risk of traumatic knee injury.
In this study the investigators examined the ability of orthopaedic surgeons to predict the outcome of surgery and non-operative treatment in patients (age 45 to 70) with a non-obstructive meniscal tear.
This is a retrospective study of meniscal tear repairs at least one-year post repair status. All patients were treated with Ceterix NovoStitch devices. The primary objectives of this study are to assess the clinical repair success rate via reoperation and PROs at greater than 12 months.
This study will compare meniscal healing augmented or without augmentation with platelet rich plasma in primary meniscal tear treatment (prolotherapy). The assessments will include validated, disease specific, patient oriented outcome measures. Results of this study will help ascertain whether platelet rich plasma may improve meniscal healing rates.
The most common technique involves a suture meniscus avivement with a rasp or a motorized cutter the suture zone before actual implementation of the suture. But the imperative nature of this avivement is based only on theoretical considerations. The team has an old experience in conducting meniscus sutures without avivement. It therefore seems interesting to compare results with those of literature
