Filter by:This study is aimed to determine the efficacy and the safety of the tourniquet reinflation after early tourniquet release in total knee arthroplasty, compared to the method of early deflation without reinflation. The investigators hypothesized that the reinflation after early release of the tourniquet would be effective in terms of improved visualization of the surgical field and decreased operation time and blood loss, whereas it would increase tourniquet-related complication due to longer tourniquet-use time.
Intraarticular injections have long been used to treat osteoarthritis. Viscosupplementation is a relatively new approach comprising the injection of hyaluronic acid into diarthrodial joints. The dosis regimen is well established for the knee joint, but there is still no consensus regarding the optimal dosage for hip viscosupplementation. Our objective is to determine the optimal dosis for hip viscosupplementation
The purpose of this study is to determine whether neridronate is effective in the treatment of pain related to bone marrow oedema in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee.
The objectives of this study are to assess short term efficacy and safety of of topical preparation of essential oil extracted from ZINGIBER CASSUMUNAR ROXB in patients suffering from osteoarthritic pain
In this randomized controlled trial the investigators want to investigate whether early versus late mobilisation after surgery in the first carpometacarpal joint (CMC1) leads to a faster recovery of hand function. The investigators also want to explore patients' satisfaction with the two different treatment regimes. The participants in the control group will receive the standard treatment at Diakonhjemmet hospital: immobilisation of the thumb in a splint for six weeks. The participants in the intervention group will use a soft splint for six weeks, but will be instructed to remove the splint daily to perform exercises for the thumb. A total of 70 patients will be included in the study.
The purpose of this study is to investigate if preoperative strength training will result in faster recovery and higher level of function six weeks after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
B cells are known to play an important role in auto-immune diseases by activating T cells, secreting inflammatory cytokines and autoreactive antibodies. However, a sub-type of B cells named regulatory B cells or Bregs has recently shown capacities to prevent or cure arthritis in mouse models. Bregs have also been identified in humans.
What is the intensity of F-PET uptake in healthy and osteo arthritic femur and acetabulum, compared to the uptake adjacent to four analyzed endoprosthetic components 1½ and 6 months after surgery?
The Trident Tritanium acetabular component of a total hip prosthesis is a new developed uncemented acetabular component. In this randomized controlled trial (RCT) the tritanium cup will be compared with the Trident HA acetabular component in two equal sized groups. The Symax HA coated stem will be used as femoral component in both groups. Study Objectives: - The primary objective is to determine the prosthetic migration of the uncemented acetabular and femoral total hip components using model based RSA technique - Secondary objectives are on one hand to assess clinical outcome on the other hand assessing patient satisfaction in both groups using Harris Hip Score, Oxford Hip Score, WOMAC, and EQ-5D questionnaires - Tertiary objective is to assess bone remodeling of the uncemented acetabular components and the HA-coated Symax hip stem using QCT derived from usinf F18-fluoride PET in a cohort of 12 consecutive patients of this RCT A total of 50 patients will be enrolled in this RCT divided into two equal groups. Patients have to fulfill the inclusion and exclusion criteria. All evaluations will be done pre-operatively with 2 weeks before surgery, and after surgery at 4 weeks, 3 and 6 months and 1 and 2 years.
Post-operative pain following total knee replacement can be disabling and sometimes lead to the need for prolonged hospital stay. Therefore development of improved post-operative modalities for total knee replacement surgery pain control is important. High-resolution ultrasound (US) allows accurate visualization of nerves and surrounding structures and can lead to higher success rates of nerve block. The investigators aim at comparing the analgesic efficacy of ultrasound-guided nerve block catheter compared with epidural analgesia for patients with knee OA who underwent unilateral total knee replacement.
