Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether Achilles tendon debridement and decompression augmented with flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon transfer results in improved clinical and functional outcome as measured by ankle plantar flexion strength and American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score compared to debridement and decompression alone in patients over 50 years of age with chronic insertional Achilles tendinosis. H0: There will be no difference in ankle plantar flexion strength measured using a handheld dynamometer between patients randomized to achilles tendon decompression and debridement alone (Group 1) and patients randomized to achilles tendon decompression and debridement augmented with FHL transfer (Group 2). HA: Patients randomized to achilles tendon decompression and debridement alone (Group 1) will have less ankle plantar flexion strength compared to patients randomized to achilles tendon decompression and debridement augmented with FHL transfer (Group 2).
Idiopathic Adhesive Capsulitis, Frozen Shoulder is a condition in which there is a limitation and significant pain at the shoulder and it is increases with shoulder movements. The causes are not clear. The prevalence of this condition is four times higher in diabetic patient compare to the general population. The relation between frozen shoulder and impaired glucose tolerance remain unclear. Our hypothesis is that patients with no diabetes and that suffer from frozen shoulder have a higher prevalence of impaired glucose tolerance than the general population age matched.
The use of corticosteroid subacromial injections have been found to be effective for the treatment of shoulder pain. Higher doses may be better than lower doses for subacromial corticosteroid injection for rotator cuff tendonitis. The investigators aim this study to compare 2 doses of corticosteroids.
Open-label study to be conducted at 2 US investigational sites in subjects who have acute tendonitis or bursitis of the shoulder, elbow, or knee. Eligible subjects receive treatment with the KTP, applied once daily at the same application site for 3 consecutive days.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety two oral doses of etoricoxib (60 mg and 90 mg) daily in acute soft tissue rheumatism affecting the shoulder.
Research study to determine if putting local anesthetic through a tiny tube next to the nerves that go to the shoulder will improve shoulder range-of-motion following the shoulder procedure performed on the frozen shoulder. It will also help determine if patients have a higher quality-of-life and less pain, require fewer pain pills, experience fewer sleep disturbances, and are more satisfied with their post-procedure pain control.
The purpose of this study is to compare two treatments for adhesive capsulitis.
The objective of this study is to conduct a randomized, single-blinded placebo controlled trial comparing two modalities for the treatment of pain and mobility associated with trochanteric bursitis: (1) injection of glucocorticosteroid and local anesthetic, (2) injection of local anesthetic. We hope to determine whether steroid injections provide a statistically significant improvement in pain symptoms and hip mobility in subjects with trochanteric bursitis, as compared to an injection of local anesthetic. Our null hypothesis is that no statistically significant difference exists between the two treatment modalities.
The purpose of this study is to compare ultrasound guided capsular corticosteroid injection into the rotator interval/anterior capsule and the GH joint with ultrasound guided corticosteroid injection into the GH joint only. Both methods will be compared with placebo injections. Primary outcome measure: pain reduction at week 6 Secondary outcome measures: improvement of function (SPADI, Life quality, ROM). 0-hypothesis: no difference between the methods. The investigators want to find out if the clinical effect of the combined capsular and intra-articular injections are better than placebo and better that intra-articular injections
We are trying to see if ultrasound is a good tool for looking at the changes that happen on the inside of the shoulder due frozen shoulder.
