Filter by:This project will develop a data-driven decision making model to assess a competitive athlete's readiness to return to sport after ACL injury and surgery safely.
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery patients experience physical trauma, both in the physical injury itself and following surgery, and face potential long-lasting adverse effects such as muscle weakness, diminished joint function, hip pain, and fear. Many of these patients report more significant anxiety and depression following surgery, which can further compound these patients' adverse outcomes. This study is a single-blind, randomized controlled trial design to evaluate the effects of a remotely-delivered 8-week mindfulness intervention on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) following ACL reconstruction surgery.
This study will utilize the Moxy wearable sensor to measure muscle oxygen saturation levels in athletes following lower extremity surgery (ACL or Hip arthroscopy) to evaluate their Return-to-Play. The acquired data will complement current protocols utilized by Dr. Voos and Dr. Salata in this regard and will add quantifiable evidence to enable a robust measurement of the surgical limb versus non-surgical limb.
This study will compare Anterior Cruciate Reconstruction with or without Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction in patients with ACL injury. The purpose of this study is evaluate if addition of ALLr to ACLr provides better clinical, radiological and laboratory outcomes.
The purpose of this research is to find out whether the way information about surgery is presented to patients affects patient satisfaction, knowledge retention, and surgical outcomes such as anxiety
This is a randomised clinical trial to detect the effect of an 8-week whole body vibration training on muscle function and dynamic knee function during single leg squat and single leg hop in patients after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
It is estimated that 48 out of 10,000 people, in the United States, will tear their anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) annually and undergo ACL reconstruction (ACLR). Surgeons have several graft options, surgical techniques, and fixation methods to consider when planning how to reconstruct a patient's ACL. Graft options vary greatly and include allografts and autografts with good evidence that are good choices. Further, autografts include several different specific grafts including; bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB), hamstring tendons, and quadriceps tendon. There is no clear consensus on which graft type is superior, as each graft has associated positives and negatives. Historically, autologous BPTB grafts have been the preferred choice of surgeons given its ability to restore rotational stability for the knee, the robust healing with direct bone-to-bone contact at both ends of the graft, and low failure rates. However, there are drawbacks to ACLR using a BPTB graft. Complications following BPTB graft harvesting include patella fractures, patellar tendon ruptures, increased risk of patellofemoral osteoarthritis, lack of terminal extension, and donor-site morbidity. The majority of these complications are associated with low-risk rates, except for donor-site morbidity which may be prevalent in 37-51% of BPTB graft patients. Donor-site pain can manifest as anterior knee, patellofemoral pain, loss of sensory input, or discomfort with kneeling and can negatively influence subjective as well as objective measures of knee function. Filling bony defects with bone graft is a procedure that is commonly conducted within orthopedics. However, its use in treating the bony defects caused during BPTB graft harvesting is less common as patella and tibial harvest sites are routinely left unfilled. Significant methodological differences in treatment interventions for the patella harvest site, the tibial harvest site, or both and conflicting results have made it difficult to determine if these treatments have clinical utility. To the best of the investigators' knowledge, there has been no investigation looking at the incidence of donor site morbidity treated with autologous bone grafting of the harvest sites. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine if filling the harvest site defect is associated with a lower rate of donor site morbidity and better patient reported functional outcomes compared to patients whose harvest site remains unfilled. The purpose of this study is to compare the rate of donor site morbidity between patients who have their harvest sites bone grafted with autologous bone (BG) and those whose harvest sites remain unfilled (nBG).
To examine the consistency between postoperative CT scan and intraoperative arthroscopic measurement in evaluating femoral tunnel position for anterior cruciate ligament （ACL）reconstruction，both using the apex of the deep cartilage（ADC）as the marker.
The aim of this pilot study is to understand the biological changes that occur within the knee joint following injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). This will be achieved through aspiration and analysis of the haemarthrosis which fills the knee following injury. The study will look at inflammatory and healing responses using DNA, RNA and protein analysis. This, combined with high resolution imaging of the knee and surrounding soft tissue structures, may enable a more patient specific approach to treatment of ACL injury.
The overall aim of this multicenter RCT is to determine whether concomitant ALL reconstruction in children undergoing and ACL reconstruction will longitudinally result in a lower rate of graft failure than ACL reconstruction alone.
