Filter by:The main objective of this study is to compare, with a minimum follow-up of 5 years, the prevalence of femoro-tibial osteoarthritis after an isolated ACL ligamentoplasty or after an ACL ligamentoplasty combining ACL and ALL.
Meniscal root tears have been recently recognized to be one of the most common causes for the progression of arthritis in relatively young patients. The purpose of the study will be to assess if the addition of a transtibial peripheral stabilization suture helps to decrease both meniscal extrusion and if it helps to decrease the progression of osteoarthritis of the medial compartment of the knee in the early timeframe postoperatively.
This is a prospective randomized controlled trial with the purpose to determine if patients undergoing isolated posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction, or isolated medial collateral ligament (MCL) reconstruction, or combined PCL, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), fibular collateral ligament (FCL), posterolateral corner (PLC), and MCL reconstructions (or any combination of multiple ligaments) can safely begin partial controlled weightbearing for the first six weeks after surgery.
This is a prospective randomized controlled trial with the purpose to determine if patients undergoing fibular collateral ligament (FCL) reconstruction alone or combined FCL and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions can safely begin full controlled weightbearing for the first six weeks after surgery.
An adequate balance between analgesia and motor function is an essential requirement to facilitate functional recovery and early discharge after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery. Proximal nerve blocks (i.e. femoral and sciatic nerve blocks) are associated with optimal analgesia, but they can cause muscle weakness, interfering with rehabilitation and increasing the risk of falls . A recent randomized controlled trial concluded that, compared to mid-and distal ACB, a distal femoral triangle block (FTB) is associated with lower opioid consumption and improved postoperative analgesia for ambulatory ACL reconstruction. In ACL reconstruction surgery there are other potential sources of pain not covered by a FTB, such as intra-articular structures (menisci, cruciate ligaments), posterior knee capsule and the graft donor site. Evidence supporting the addition of an IPACK block to a FTB has been studied for patients undergoing total knee replacement, nonetheless, there is no trial analyzing the analgesic contribution of IPACK to a FTB in the context of ACL reconstruction surgery. In this multicentric trial, the investigators set out to analyze the analgesic benefit of adding an IPACK block to a FTB.
Interventional, comparative, randomized, controlled study versus standard treatment, in 3 parallel groups, monocentric, aiming to demonstrate the superiority of preoperative cryoneurolysis versus no procedure, in patients operated on for knee arthroplasty and receiving standard analgesia.
Knee joint is the most common part of sports injury. MRI is a powerful tool to diagnose knee joint injury. However, it takes a long time to read the film, needs a lot, and some hidden injuries have a high rate of missed diagnosis. The emerging deep learning technology can establish automatic recognition model through large samples. A large sample of knee joint MRI was collected retrospectively to train the deep learning model of knee joint MRI, and the sensitivity and specificity of the deep learning model were verified in multi center. Depending on the clinical needs, the deep learning model annotation system is established. A large number of knee MRI were obtained and labeled. According to the knee joint MRI training depth learning model, and iterative optimization, the final version is formed. Multi center validation was carried out. Continuous operation records and corresponding preoperative knee MRI were obtained from multiple hospitals. The sensitivity and specificity of the model were calculated with operation records as the gold standard. At the same time, an expert team composed of senior radiologists and sports medicine doctors was organized to read the films. The sensitivity and specificity of manual reading and AI reading were compared to prove the superiority of AI reading. This study can improve the efficiency of clinical MRI film reading, reduce the workload of doctors, improve the film reading level of grass-roots hospitals, promote the development of the discipline, and has good social benefits and market prospects.
This research study is designed to allow health care professionals and researchers to answer many questions about whether a new type of physical therapy called blood flow restriction training (called BFRT) will improve recovery for those with patellar instability.
In this study our objective is to compare two tibial ACL graft fixation systems in patients undergoing two different reconstructions technique (with simple and double bundle) in terms of tendon graft osteointegration, functionality and return to sports.
Multi-center, prospective, concurrently controlled, non-randomized, double-blind (patient and assessor). Treatment of large chondral lesions in the knee with microfracture plus the Chondro-Gide® ACC is non-inferior to treatment of small chondral lesions treated with microfracture alone.
