Filter by:The primary objective of this study is to obtain long-term implant survivorship (out to 10 years) and to assess clinical, patient-reported outcome measures, and radiographic data for the commercially available Physica system. For ancillary arm, from baseline to 5-year follow-up.
The aim of present study is to to investigate whether the combined injection of HA and CS was superior than HA alone in the treatment of knee OA.
This study will attempt to draw relationships between the soft-tissue related complications contributing to early TKA revision and the loading and positional patterns from intraoperative tibial trial sensors. The data from the sensors may enable the surgeon to address such soft-tissue abnormalities that may otherwise be unknown during traditional total knee revision procedures. The utilization of sensors should in theory, help diagnose the potential causes attributing to soft-tissue imbalance and may lead to a decreased need for an all component revision. Furthermore, the economic implications from converting a total revision to a partial revision could have a profound effect to the patient and healthcare provider such as decreased rehabilitation regimes and opportunity for cost savings. Eligible revision patients who agree to participate will be followed for a period of 12 months following the revision procedure. Patient reported outcomes measures (PROM) such as the 2011 Knee Society Score (KSS) and the Veterans Rand 12-Item Health Survey (VR-12) will be collected at baseline (pre-operatively) and at 6 weeks, 6 months and 12 months post-procedure. All outcomes will be scored to observe changes from baseline at 12-months. Cost-analyses of sensor-assisted revision TKA will be performed to include OR costs, facility and physician fees, as well as payments to post-acute collaborators such as SNFs, rehab hospitals, PT and home care providers. A quantitative analysis of commercial payer claims / usage data (e.g., CMS Medpar data) will be used to examine costs associated with traditional revision TKA procedures.
The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical and functional outcomes of patients with mild to moderate arthroscopically confirmed osteoarthritis between the following two groups: 1. Partial fat pad harvest with Adipose-Derived Stem Cell (ADSC) transplantation with standard arthroscopic treatment consisting of: partial meniscectomy, cartilage stabilization, loose body removal and selective synovectomy. 2. Standard arthroscopic treatment (above) without cell transplant.
Osteoarthritis (OA) of knee is the most common form of arthritis in the world1e, and it has received growing attention in the society because of the increase of old age population, disabled people, and medical expenses from this disease. 99Tc-MDP is effective for rheumatoid arthritis. Therefore, the investigators try to investigate the effects of 99Tc-MDP treatment in patients with osteoarthritis of knee as compared with celecoxib.
Adipose tissue derived Mesenchymal Stem cells (ATMSC) will be injected in patients diagnosed with Knee osteoarthrosis
Wharton Jelly derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (WJMSC) will be injected in patients diagnosed with Knee osteoarthrosis
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of chronic degenerative joint disease, as well as the main cause of pain and disability in older persons worldwide. The limited results of physical therapy in OA makes OA patients potential candidates for complementary therapies, such as laying on of hands. The present study aims to investigate the effect of Laying on of Hands on the Pain, Joint Stiffness and Functional Capacity of Elderly Women With Knee Osteoarthritis. This is a randomized controlled trial with three allocation groups: spiritual laying on of hands ("passe espiríta" - Spiritist passe/spiritual healing) (SP), non-spiritual laying on of hands (LH) and Control Group without laying on of hands (CG). All subjects will participate in a 45-minute kinesiotherapy program. After that, groups will be directed to the 5-minute session of laying on of hands according to their groups. During the application of SP, LH and CG, the subjects will remain in a sitting position, blindfolded with dark goggles, and receive the following verbal command: "Relax and calm your mind." The intervention will happen twice a week for eight weeks and a blinded physical therapist will assess the pre and post scores of pain, functionality, joint stiffness (through WOMAC and visual analogic scale), anxiety and depression (HADS), religiosity (DUREL) and spirituality (FACIT Sp12) and quality of life (WHOQOL-Bref), among other secondary outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to determine if patients with chronic painful knee osteoarthritis experience meaningful and long-term improvement in pain, function, and analgesic use after ultrasound-guided pulsed radiofrequency of the genicular nerves following a double diagnostic genicular nerve blocks.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Extracorporeal Focused Shock Wave Therapy reduces knee pain and enhance function in patients with primary knee osteoarthritis.
