Filter by:This study was designed to assess whether the injection of local anesthetic into the nerve (intraneural), as opposed to around it (perineural), requires a shorter time to develop surgical anesthesia of the lower leg. The investigators will compare the two types of injection using the same drug, so as to determine if there is an actual difference onset time. They will also examine the overall success rate of either kind of sciatic nerve blocks as the sole anesthetic for non-emergent orthopedic surgery. The safety of these procedures will be examined by in-hospital and phone-call follow-up contacts.
This project investigates the relation between acute pain and local inflammation. Pain reported by the patients for knee arthroscopy are compared with local changes in inflammatory mediators by using microdialysis technique. Patients with moderate-to-severe pain are included in a randomized placebo-controlled trial of anakinra given intra-articularly.
If preservative-free dexamethasone 0.1 mg/kg (max dose 4 mg) is added to ropivacaine 0.5% 2 mg/kg (max dose 100 mg), then post-PACU opioid consumption will be reduced by 33%.
the purpose of this study is to develop and validate a new PRO measurement tool for the knee joint, the so-called Munich Knee Questionnaire (MKQ), allowing for a qualitative self-assessment of the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC), the Lysholm Knee Score, the Western Ontario Meniscal Evaluation Tool (WOMET) and the Tegner Score.
This research was performed to determine which of the three techniques used by knee surgeons at the Mayo Clinic was the most accurate at the surgical removal (resection) of the knee-cap (patella) in a symmetric fashion during total knee replacement (arthroplasty). Although all three techniques are known to be effective, the three techniques had never been compared to one another to determine if one was more effective than the others at resecting the patella.
Study will test the use of narratives on patient satisfaction and translation of an evidence-based approach to the use of X-rays for leg injuries in the Emergency Department (ED). The investigators will identify patients with foot, ankle, or knee injuries for whom X-rays are determined to not be needed. On discharge, patients will receive the current fact-based sheet or that plus a narrative explaining the work-up and treatment of these injuries. Outcomes will be assessed by a survey measuring patient satisfaction and understanding.
This is a Phase 2, double-blind, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Sprifermin (AS902330) (recombinant human fibroblast growth factor-18 [rhFGF-18]) as an adjunct treatment to subjects following microfracture (MFx) surgery for cartilage injury of the knee. Primary Objectives - To evaluate the effect of Sprifermin (AS902330) intra-articular knee injections as adjunct to microfracture (MFx) surgery on the composition of the refilled cartilage in the target knee, as measured by gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of cartilage (dGEMRIC) time constant 1 (T1) relaxation time at 6 months after MFx surgery - To evaluate the safety profile of Sprifermin (AS902330) when administered intra-articular into the knee as adjunct to MFx surgery in subjects with cartilage injury of the knee Secondary Objectives - To further support the efficacy and safety of Sprifermin (AS902330) as an adjunct to MFx for cartilage injury repair through symptomatic outcomes and quantitative MRI measurement
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term relief of pain and return to function for patients receiving DeNovo NT for cartilage lesions in the knee. DeNovo NT is a marketed product and has been used in more than 7,500 patients over the last 7 years.
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is frequently injured, and it is the structure of the athlete´s knee which has the highest prevalence of reconstruction. Given this postoperative ACL reconstruction scenario the investigator find in literature the effectiveness of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) as an adjuvant treatment for strengthening the quadriceps muscle. The intensity of NMES and the training duration are important factors for a successful treatment. The purpose of this study is to compare two rehabilitation protocols in patients during the post operative of the ACL reconstruction over the strength of knee extension and control of edema. It will be a randomized controlled study with the CONSORT bases with 40 participants that will be divided into two groups: Control group that will be submitted only to physical therapy exercises, and the Intervention group that will be submitted to physical therapy exercises plus electrical stimulation (low frequency device with a current of 47 Hz with symmetrical, biphasic and pyramidal waveforms, with pulse duration of 1.5 s and interval of 1.8 s). The procedure will last six weeks. It will be evaluated the pre intervention quadriceps muscle extension force by means of a manual dynamometer, and the joint swelling through the perimeter. This procedure will be repeated after six weeks of intervention.
Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), laboratory analyses and patient reported outcomes, the overall aim of this study is to investigate structural injuries and biochemical alterations in the acutely injured knee and to relate these findings to clinical outcomes at various time points.
