Filter by:The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between body composition and knee osteoarthritis, and effects of inflammatory, metabolic, and hormonal factors.
This project is a prospective observational study that will involve the participation of 25 volunteers that qualify for having knee osteoarthritis, are going to be having gastric bypass surgery and are willing to participate in this study which is designed to last up to two years. Potential candidates will be interviewed using a standard set of questions related to the study
The purpose of this study is to determine whether creatine associated or not to exercise training can improve physical performance in patients with knee osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia.
The aim of this study is to provide evidence that the safety and effectiveness of the ceramic femoral component of the Gem Total Knee System is similar to FDA approved implants used in total knee replacement surgery. The hypotheses to be tested are that the investigational and control groups are equivalent in terms of patient success rate and complication-free rate.
The main purpose of this study is to record information from clinical and radiographic examinations and patient assessment questionnaires before surgery and at suitable postoperative intervals to assess the functioning and symptomology of each knee following surgery. In addition, any adverse events or complications are to be recorded, and any device failures or early revisions are to be recorded and reported directly to the Sponsor. The data are to be used in an evaluation of the performance of the P.F.C. Sigma knee implants over a minimum of 5 years.
The study will determine the survivorship of the fixed bearing P.F.C. Sigma knee with a cobalt chrome tibial tray at 5 years.
The primary objective of this investigation was to evaluate & compare the performance of the P.F.C. Sigma Knee Cruciate-retaining all-polyethylene and metal-backed tibia components using RSA. The secondary objectives of this investigation are to evaluate the clinical and patient outcomes and survivorship associated with the P.F.C. Sigma Knee Cruciate-retaining all-polyethylene and metal-backed tibia components.
To determine how the LCS mobile bearing knee system works within the Asian Population.
The main objective of this study is to determine if the P.F.C. Sigma RP-F Knee delivers a greater post-operative range of motion (ROM) compared with the P.F.C. Sigma RP Knee in primary TKA. The secondary objectives of this investigation are to evaluate the clinical and patient outcomes and survivorship associated with the DePuy P.F.C. Sigma RP-F and RP Posterior Stabilised (PS) Knee over 5 years.
Osteoarthritis, a common disorder increasing in prevalence with advancing age, is particularly debilitating when the knees are affected. This study examined the value of hydrotherapy (exercise in water) and continuous short-wave diathermy (an electrical deep heat treatment) for the relief of osteoarthritic symptoms.
