Robotic arthroplasty is increasing in acceptance on a global scale as a result of advancements in orthopedic surgery technology. The investigators aimed to share our anesthesia management experience as well as compare robotic unilateral total knee arthroplasty with conventional surgical technique in this retrospective study.
A phase 1 exploratory clinical study to investigate safety, tolerance and efficacy of a single intra-articular injection of autoSTEM-OA or alloSTEM-OA in participants with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis
This study is a prospective, multicenter (up to 4 sites), randomized, double-blind, two-arm study. Forty-five (45) patients will be randomized to receive a single 4-6 ml intra-articular (IA) injection of either the output of ACP Max™ (n=30) or 6 ml of Depo-Medrol® (methylprednisolone acetate) (n=15).
The aim of this study is to compare the diagnostic efficacy of conventional MRI, MR arthrography and MDCT arthrography in the detection and grading of chondral lesions of the osteoarthritic knee with arthroscopic correlation
Both glucocorticoid and sinomenine are widely used in the routine clinical treatment of osteoarthritis, but there is still a lack of high level of clinical evidence for the direct comparison of efficacy between the two drugs. This trial aims to evaluate whether intraarticular injection of sinomenine was noninferior to intraarticular injection of glucocorticoid for symptom relief in patients with early knee arthritis, and whether intraarticular injection of sinomenine was superior to intraarticular injection of glucocorticoid for changes in tibial cartilage volume (measured by mean thickness) from baseline compared with intraarticular injection of glucocorticoid. 326 people will participate in the study at 3 different research/medical institutions, with centres competing for inclusion. This trial was designed by random blind method. This trial will last for 2 years and participants will receive 6 injections every 4 months.
There is a lack of effective analgesic treatments to help walking patients with painful hip/knee osteoarthritis. Our team therefore imagined a new strategy lying on a multimodal rehabilitation walking program with the help of a transient intake of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). NSAIDs are indeed known to act specifically on pain at movement, but their continuous intake would induce unacceptable side effects. To optimize the benefit/risk balance, the molecule to be chosen must fit to the patient's profile, and its intake should cover only the period of interest, i.e. planned walks. Our multimodal rehabilitation program will also include physical techniques such as appropriate footwear, a patient's education aiming at reducing fear/avoidance and spotting side effects of NSAIDs, and a prescription frame to avoid any overdosing. This clinical study is a single-center, non-randomized, open label, one-arm trial, using drugs prescribed according to their label (i.e. osteoarthritis pain), pending a reinforced monitoring of side effects. The primary endpoint is to evaluate efficacy and tolerance of a tailored and transient administration of NSAID within a rehabilitation walking program in patients with painful hip/knee osteoarthritis. Secondary endpoints are to evaluate the adherence to the program and the factors influencing adherence; to identify the less well tolerated conditions of treatment (one condition being one molecule for one patient profile); to identify the factors of success among a set of baseline demographic, morphometric and psychometric variables; and to study the role of central sensitization (assessed by temporal summation) on the efficacy of treatment.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare a newly developed off-the-shelf cryopreserved "ready to inject" Mesenchymal Stem Cell (MSC) product with the usual MSC preparation the investigators have used in knee osteoarthritis (OA) patients. Since usual MSC therapy requires cell manipulation in GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices)-type facilities, this new formulation would enable wider access to Cell therapy and Multicentric clinical trials in areas devoid of expensive facilities and equipment.
Knee osteoarthritis is the most common type of osteoarthritis in the lower extremity and constitutes 23% of all arthritis cases, about 13% of females and 10% of males aged above 60 years have symptomatic knee OA. Intra-articular corticosteroids (IACs) are a frequently-used treatment regimen for pain relief from symptomatic knee OA as it inhibits inflammation and reduces prostaglandin synthesis. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous blood product containing a high percentage of various growth factors (GFs), such as fibroblast growth factor, epidermal growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factor, transforming growth factor-β and platelet-derived growth factor. The aim of this study is to compare effect of intra-articular injection of platelet rich plasma versus corticosteroid in treatment of primary knee osteoarthritis.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about preventing falls in people who have total knee replacement surgery using treadmill perturbation training. Perturbation training involves adjusting to rapid speed changes on a treadmill. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does perturbation training improve the way that people who are planning to have total knee replacement surgery recover after treadmill test that reproduces a trip to the front or side? - Does perturbation training reduce the incidence of preventable gait-related falls during the first year after total knee replacement? Participants will: - complete surveys about their condition and fall history and take part in testing of walking ability and balance. - have a baseline gait analysis test to measure the motion of their body during normal walking. - Be randomized into two groups. One will receive fall-prevention literature. The other will receive the same literature and then take part in a two-week treadmill perturbation training program. - be contacted every two weeks for one year, and asked questions about whether they have fallen during that time. - wear an activity monitor on their wrist for one week periods, every three months. Researchers will compare the number of falls from the group that received literature to the treatment group to see if the training group has fewer falls during the year after surgery.
