Filter by:The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate fusion of the SI joint(s) and any reduction in VAS pain scores in a prospective cohort of patients utilizing the SiJoin® Transfixing Sacroiliac Fusion Device in patients that received sacroiliac fusion, without ancillary stabilization devices.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the influence of PRF application in case of alveolar osteitis.
High energy trauma often results in severe soft tissue, bone and joint injury. Today, many methods and techniques exist to treat theses severely injured extremities. Surgical techniques include open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), e.g. with screws and plates, soft tissue reconstruction by local or free flaps and joint reconstruction by arthroplasty, e.g. total knee arthroplasty. In few, very severe cases, those methods are not sufficient to restore function and amputation is the only option left. In 1908 the German surgeon Erich Lexer had the idea to transplant a joint. Due to the medical situation at his time the attempts failed. But the idea survived and was processed over the time. Transplant surgery and medicine developed, immunosuppressive drugs were established and animal models proved that bone and joint transplantation is technically feasible. In 1998 the first successful hand and in 2005 the first partial face transplantation was carried out. In 1996 we started our clinical femur and knee joint transplantation project.
