This is a randomized controlled trial comparing the DELTA Xtend Reverse Shoulder System Lateralized Glenosphere Line Extension (intervention group) with the standard DELTA Xtend Reverse Shoulder System (control group). All Danish citizens with rotator cuff arthropathy or degeneration of the glenohumeral joint with severe posterior wear indicating a reverse total shoulder arthroplasty referred to the orthopedic department at Herlev and Gentofte Hospital, Copenhagen University Hospital will be considered for participation in the trial. The following exclude from participation in the study: Below 50 years of age; Cognitive or linguistic impairment; insufficient glenoid bone stock; previous fracture in the upper extremities; autoimmune mediated inflammatory arthritis.A total of 122 patients will be included of which 56 will be part of the roentgen radiostereometric analysis. This will allow a maximum of 20% drop out. The primary outcome is magnitude and pattern of migration of the glenoid component and functional outcome by Western Ontario Osteoarthritis of the Shoulder Index (WOOS score). The secondary outcomes are position of arthroplasty, loosening, inferior scapular notching, patient-reported outcomes, functional outcome, readmission, complications, revisions, changes in bone mineral density of the proximal humerus assessed by duel energy x-ray absorptiometry and economy (cost utility analysis). The patients are examined before the operation and 1 week and 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after the operation.
General anesthesia used to be based on the association of hypnotics and opioid drugs. But recent studies showed that opioids may be related to a many different complications, like respiratory distress, hyperalgesia. Opioid free anesthesia (OFA) aim is to control de cardiovascular nociceptive response to the surgical stimulation. The scientific literature is not clear yet on the cardiovascular effect of the OFA. Optimization of the cardiac index proved its worth in reducing morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this study is to increase our understanding of the impact of opioid free anesthesia on the cardiovascular system and to evaluate the effectiveness and the security of the technic.
Pregnancy is the main occasion of every woman's life in which numerous episodes of physiological and anatomical adjustments takes place within woman's body to become a mother. Anatomical changes often leads to poor biomechanics and may cause mechanical dysfunction of spine especially lower back.. Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) goes through most of mobility during the period of pregnancy due to hormone release causes ligamentous laxity that can cause SIJD.
Comparing percutaneous needle fasciotomy +/- corticosteroid injection for Dupuytren's contracture affecting metacarpophalangeal joints. A clinician-initiated, multicenter, randomized controlled trial.
The purpose of this randomized-controlled study is to compare outcomes of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair augmented with a Bioinductive Implant (study group) to standard arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (control group). The primary outcome of this study is rotator cuff repair integrity (absence of full- or partial-thickness defect) demonstrated on ultrasound at 1-year postoperatively. The investigators hypothesize that the study group will have higher rates of repair integrity demonstrated on ultrasound at 1-year postoperatively.
The aim of the present study is to show that the use of 0.55T MRI combined with a "dental" coil produces images of sufficient diagnostic value to assess areas of interest in dentistry, and to compare MR images to traditional, dental-oriented radiographic images for diagnostic purposes.
The purpose of this study; to compare individuals with and without chronic constipation in terms of sacroiliac joint dysfunction and to examine the relationship between chronic constipation and sacroiliac joint.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate effects of respiratory strengthening exercises on breathing function, in people who have orthopedic surgery. It is known that breathing function decreases for a few days after surgery. in In this study, we want to see if exercising before surgery strengthens the breathing muscles and improves recovery after surgery.
This study conducted a randomized controlled clinical trial to evaluate the effect of the the therapeutic position of the anterior repositioning splint determined by VTO analyse compared with traditional method for the treatment of the Anterior Disk Displacement with Reduction of the Temporomandibular Joint.
