Filter by:MicroPort Orthopedics Inc. (MPO) plans to market the EVOLUTION® NitrX™ Non-Porous Keeled Tibia and EVOLUTION® NitrX™ CS/CR Non-Porous Femur with the EVOLUTION® Cruciate Sacrificing (CS) Tibial Insert globally, including in the European Union (EU). MPO is conducting this post market clinical follow-up (PMCF) study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the EVOLUTION® NitrX™ Non-Porous Keeled Tibia and EVOLUTION® NitrX™ CS/CR Non-Porous Femur. These components are used along with the EVOLUTION® Cruciate Sacrificing (CS) Tibial Insert components that is marketed in the European Union (EU). This type of data collection is required by regulatory authorities for all TKA devices that do not have medium to long-term clinical evidence available.
There are several studies that have considered Botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) injections are effective in treating symptoms for Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders. BoNT-A injections improve the hyper-tonicity of mandibular muscles and its consequent joint load reduction. Also injections of BoNT-A, for patients with articular disc displacement, resulted in pain relief and return of the normal movements of the mandible. The main goal of this study is to test the beneficial impact of BoNT-A injections in the masticatory muscles of patients submitted to TMJ surgical arthroscopy.
Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty has been widely used in the treatment of rotator cuff arthropathy. Follow-up has historically focused on the glenoid component because of problems with fixation and scapular notching leading to functional failure. Since several patients have shown cortical thinning of the proximal lateral humeral cortex during follow-up, further research is recommended to evaluate the cause and clinical impact of these radiographic changes. The goal of this study is to collect long-term radiographic and clinical data in order to facilitate the identification of risk factors.
Gluteus maximus transfer following THA does not improve abductor strength - a case-control gait analysis study of 15 patients with gluteus medius disruption The investigators have compared 15 gluteus maximus transferred patients with the use of a gait analysis system based on reflective markers and force plates to objectively evaluate the gait performance pre- and postoperatively.
This is a prospective study to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of CORI and to register CORI in China mainland.
Static or dynamic postural control cannot be fully restored in patients with Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). Moreover, deficits in balance and postural control may still be present in both extremity after TKA. However, the contralateral knee OA grade, asymmetrical gait pattern, and postural sways still remain a risk factor for balance deficits and falls. Based on this rationale, the aim of this study is to evaluate the balance and fall risk before and after TKA in patients who suffered from bilateral knee osteoarthritis and to clarify the balance and fall risk difference between unilateral and bilateral TKA patients.
The aim is to describe the severity of pain in postpartum female and management of sacroiliac joint pain and disability and define the effects of manual therapy on sacroiliac joint dysfunction and pain
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders are common problems in the society and involve the masticator muscles, jaw joint and related structures. Since TMJ disorders affect functions such as eating and speaking, they can cause important problems in the daily life of the patient. Therefore, its diagnosis and treatment are of great importance. In the treatment of these patients, methods such as analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs, splint, exercise, physical therapy modalities can be applied.
Interventions including glenohumeral mobilization, sleeper stretches, and thoracic manipulation have been proposed for individuals with loss of shoulder range of motion (ROM). However, the effect of these interventions on shoulder ROM, joint translation, and muscular activity have not been studied in combination.
Low back pain is one of the commonest complaints nowadays affecting nearly 20% of the population, Sacroiliac joint has been accused of being the primary cause of pain in about 10%: 27% of this population. The sure diagnosis of sacroiliac joint pain is challenging because of multiple crossed factors of facet joint pain and intervertebral disc pain. Diagnosis can be done by history taking, local examination, imaging techniques, and controlled local anesthetic blocks. Controlled local anesthetic blocks are diagnostic and therapeutic done by various methods either landmark-guided or imaging-assisted either by fluoroscopy, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MRI), or ultrasound-guided. Lower cost, real-time viewing of needle leading to higher accuracy rate, and low ionizing radiation dose are favoring ultrasound-guided injection over other modalities. Numerous treatment modalities are being used for sacroiliac joint pain ranging from physiotherapy and systemic analgesics like Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to minimally invasive intra-articular, periarticular injection, radiofrequency neurotomy, and surgical fusion of the joint. Multiple injectates are being used for intraarticular injection most commonly local anesthetics and steroids which offer short-term symptomatic relief and delay the degenerative process. The need for a longer duration effect directly affects the disease process itself aiming for accelerating the joint healing rate by biological growth factors found in human blood especially in platelets. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been used aiming to inject a high concentration of growth factors directly into the joint. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), the second generation of platelet-rich plasma is now tried having the advantage of a simpler preparation and higher values of growth factors.
