Filter by:The purpose of this study is to collect information on complications and survivorship of patients implanted with the Oxford™ Meniscal Unicompartmental Knee System at multiple sites in the United States.
The objective of this study is to gather clinical and survivorship information for the C2a-Taper™ Acetabular System, a ceramic-on-ceramic hip articulating system.
This study is being conducted to gather medium and long-term information regarding the performance and safety of the commercially available DURALOC® Option Ceramic-on-Ceramic Hip Prosthesis System.
The purpose of the study is to assess the effect of Sunitinib on tumor vascularization and necrosis in patients with metastatic renal cell cancer.
Pulp necrosis is one of the main complication of dental trauma. When it happens on an immature tooth, pulp necrosis implies a lack of root maturation and apical closure. A therapy called apexification is required to induce the formation of a calcified apical barrier allowing a permanent and hermetic root filling.The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of a new apexification method using Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA®) with the reference treatment based on calcium hydroxide repeated stimulations.
This study uses the cholesterol lowering drug atorvastatin, also known as lipitor, to show reduction of avascular necrosis in steroid treated lupus patients. Avascular necrosis is a disease resulting from the loss of blood supply to the bones which can cause the bone to collapse. The collapse of bone may require a surgical replacement of the joint and can be disabling for life. Avascular necrosis is presently not preventable but research has shown that lipid lowering drugs such as lipitor can reduce or prevent avascular necrosis in animals. We therefore hypothesize that lipitor will reduce the incidence of avascular necrosis in lupus patients taking high dose steroids.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of two postoperative interventions designed to preserve muscle protein after major hip or knee surgery.
Prospective, randomized study of Summit Porocoat versus Summit DuoFix HA in total hip arthroplasty
The study will evaluate the clinical performance of the rotating platform and fixed bearing implants through patient questionnaires, outcomes scoring and radiographic assessment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical performance of the rotating platform and fixed bearing implants in patients undergoing primary total knee replacement. Outcome scoring and radiographic assessment will be the methods used to evaluate performance.
