Filter by:The project intends to analyze the epidemiological characteristics, risk factors, complications and resource utilization of artificial joint replacement in China through the inpatient data collected by the Hospital Quality Monitoring System (HQMS). The HQMS database is a mandatory electronic inpatient database system developed by the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China. Since 2013, tertiary hospitals have been required to upload their inpatient discharge records. By 2019, the HQMS database has included more than 230 million standardized inpatient discharge records of over 1000 hospitals across all 31 provincial-level administrative regions in mainland China. Patient demographics, clinical diagnosis, procedures and operations, drug use, costs and complications were all recorded in the HQMS database. The investigators planned to include five types of arthroplasty, including knee arthroplasty, hip arthroplasty, shoulder arthroplasty, ankle arthroplasty and elbow arthroplasty. The data analysis will be conformed to the principle of confidentiality and will not reveal the privacy of those patients. The data will be only used for this research project and there is no conflict of interest. It is in line with the principles of ethics, harmlessness and fairness. This study was authorized by the HQMS Committee Board and approved by the institutional review board, with waiver of informed consent.
The purpose of this study is to obtain feedback from patients and orthopedic surgeons who agree to use virtual reality (VR ) as an adjunct to standard of care in orthopedic cases under regional or central neuraxial nerve block. This will serve as a preliminary study for future trials to compare outcomes between VR and standard of care vs standard of care only.
Dorsal root ganglion stimulation (DRG-S) may be able to treat mechanical pain caused by tissue injury or damage such as trauma or arthritis in addition to pain caused by nerve dysfunction or injury. The purpose of this study is to determine if dorsal root ganglion stimulation (DRG-S) can effectively treat arthritic pain of the knee.
The innovative aspect of this research is the possibility of combining the data collected with radiostereometric model based Radiostereometry with the data collected through the Galeazzi Institute Registry.This opens the prospect of an earlier identification of patients undergoing prosthetic knee replacement with initial aseptic loosening.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the care of patients undergoing hip or knee replacement for osteoarthritis remains a clinical priority. To date, there is limited empirical knowledge about the impact of pandemic on the care of patients surgically treated for orthopaedic diseases, affected or not by COVID-19. The aim of the present study is to describe and investigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the nursing-sensitive and rehabilitation outcomes of patients undergoing hip and knee replacement.
Randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of oral iron supplementation plus cofactors in reducing the prevalence of preoperative anemia in a cohort of 60 patients undergoing elective prosthetic hip or knee surgery.
Patients who have undergone total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with Fast-Track recovery protocol at the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology at the Local University Hospital and meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria will constitute the study sample. The patients will be divided into 2 groups using the computerized randomization method in the post-operative 4th week; Whole Body Vibration Group and Progressive Resistance Exercise Group. The first evaluation of the participants will be made at the end of the post-operative 4th week. Final evaluations will be made at the end of the post-operative 10th week, following the 6-week training.
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 increase of end-stage osteoarthritis (OA) in an increasingly younger population is directly correlated with the rising incidence of obesity. As a result, knee arthroplasty (KA), which is a definitive end-stage treatment option, is increasingly performed on working age people. Knowledge and understanding of the underlying factors that drive the ability for people to return to work is crucial. First and foremost, the investigators would have like to have a clear idea of the percentage of patients who return to work and at what time postoperatively. The investigators would also determine the different factors influencing employment in the patient population after undergoing a knee arthroplasty and register the evolution in the necessity of pain medication pre-and postoperatively. Ideally, the investigators can include a short questionnaire regarding return to sports to gather valuable information.
The purpose of the study is the evaluation of the clinical and radiological long-term performance of the balanSys UNI fix in a multicenter routine clinical setting.
