Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of non-thermal Pulsed Radio Frequency (PRF) treatment with the Ivivi SofPulse for amelioration of knee pain in patients with mild to moderate Osteoarthritis and to determine the duration of clinical benefit following discontinuation of treatment.
postoperative pain and analgesic consumption between the first and the second surgery would be compared in patients undergoing staged bilateral total knee arthroplasty (BTKA).
The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical equivalence and safety of the Test formulation of diclofenac sodium topical gel 1% (Anchen Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) compared to the marketed formulation Voltaren® Gel (diclofenac sodium topical gel) 1% (Novartis) in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. The efficacy of both the Test and Reference formulations will also be compared to the Placebo gel to determine Superiority.
This trial is planed to study if allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells would be safe and beneficial in osteoarthritis of knee joint. This is a double blind study. Different doses of stem cells will be used in this study.
Minimally invasive total knee arthroplasty (MIS-TKA) became the popular technique. It had the less postoperative pain and shorter recovery time compared to the conventional technique. With using MIS technique, less cut of quadriceps tendon was the key. It related to keep more quadriceps strength and improve functional performance after TKA. However, there was no previous studies about the effect of quadriceps incision length in the recovery time of the quadriceps strength. The investigators hypothesized that longer quadriceps incision affected the longer recovery time of quadriceps strength in MIS-TKA.
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) may be associated with significant blood loss, and transfusion carries substantial risk of immunologic reaction and disease transmission. Several methods reportedly reduce postoperative blood loss and avoid homologous blood transfusion with traditional TKA approaches. Drain clamping was one of the widely used method and tranexamic acid administration was the recently adjuvant method to reduce blood loss in TKA. However, there were several regimens in either drain clamping or tranexamic acid administration reported in previous studies. Our objective was to compare the efficacy of our drain clamping protocol and/or tranexamic acid regimen for reducing blood loss and transfusion in TKA.
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the common and effective procedure for treatment of end-staged knee osteoarthritis. Postoperative alignment of TKA is one of the important factors which effects on survival of prosthesis. High percentage of misalignment has been reported in conventional technique with using the jig based instruments. Several methods and devices were established to solve this problem. Customized or patient matched instruments were the novel technology that made from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of lower limb. With using special software to calculate the alignment axis, it was thought that accurate alignment can be achieved by using this instruments. Therefore, the study aimed to compare the accuracy of MRI based patient matched instruments and jig based instruments in TKA.
This study is designed to know the safety and efficacy of 2 different doses of mesenchymal stem cells in patients suffering from osteoarthritis of knee joint.
This study will compare changes in outcomes following viscosupplementation for knee osteoarthritis.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of ABT-652 in combination with a Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug (NSAID) compared to NSAID alone in adults with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee.
