Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and activity of ICM-203, a recombinant adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector that expresses a therapeutic gene that promotes cartilage formation, reduces joint inflammation and pain, as well as improves joint physical function, by injecting escalating doses of ICM-203 into the knee of subjects with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis (OA). Approximately 6 to 18 subjects will be enrolled into 3 successive dose-escalating groups in a 3+3 study design, whereby 3 study subjects in each group will be dosed sequentially with ICM-203 and 3 additional subjects will be dosed at the same dose level if a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) occurs in any of the first 3 subjects.
Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and High Tibial Osteotomy are both valid treatment options for isolated medial knee osteoarthritis. Literature to date is lacking high grade evidence of the outcomes between these procedures. This is a study protocol for randomized controlled trial comparing UKA vs HTO in late stage medial knee osteoarthritis.
Evaluation of a new navigation system in computer-assisted total knee arthroplasty.
Patients with isolated medial compartment arthritis of the knee are commonly treated with unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). In contrast with total knee arthroplasty (TKA), UKA shows a higher revision rate, which might be due to implant malpositioning and postoperative malalignment of the lower limb and incorrect soft tissue balancing. Nowadays, robotic-assisted UKA is used which improves accurate positioning, optimizes soft-tissue balancing and optimizes radiographic alignment of the implant. The potential benefit could be that this better alignment and positioning results in improved functional outcome and long-term survivorship. As there is a lack in long-term results, more research is needed to the long-term results of robotic-assisted UKA. As long-term results are related to early migration of the implant, investigating the early migration will have additional value to predict the long-term results of robotic-assisted UKA. In this study, we will investigate the early migration of a unicompartmental knee implant (Restoris MultiCompartmental Knee Implant System (Restoris MCK)) used in robotic-assisted UKA using model-based roentgen stereogrammetric analysis (mRSA) and we will relate the migration of this implant to the long-term results of the implant. The primary objective is to assess the fixation and migration patterns of the Restoris MutliCompartmental Knee Implant System (Stryker) in vivo, using mRSA, over 5 years. Secondary objectives are to analyse survival, clinical scores and radiographic aspects of the Restoris MultiCompartmental Knee Implant System (Stryker) and to relate these to the migration patterns over 5 years. A prospective cohort study with 5 years follow-up, in which 33 patients will be enrolled. Patients 18 years or older who require a unicompartmental knee prosthesis as a result of moderately disabling joint disease of the knee will be included. During surgery tantalum markers will be placed to be able to perform mRSA. Patients will be evaluated preoperatively, at 6 weeks, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years and 5 years. The main study parameters are the migration of the Restoris MCK of both the tibial and femoral component presented in x-, y- and z-direction. Secondary study parameters are the alignment, survival of the Restoris MCK, clinical scores and radiographic aspects (both x-ray and CT scan).
Comparison of exercise therapy Vs mobilization with movement among patients with knee osteoarthritis in household females
This is a multicenter, prospective, and case-control study. Five joint centers and 100 participants will be included. The study group used robotic-assisted modified kinematic alignment total knee replacement, and the control study used traditional alignment manual total knee replacement. The knee society score (KSS), Hip-knee-ankle(HKA) angle, mechanical lateral distal femoral angle(mLDFA), mechanical medial proximal tibial angle(mMPTA), sagittal femoral component angle(SFCA), range of motion(ROM), WOMAC score, SF-36, Visual Analogue Scale(VAS score), surgical time, blood loss, and complications are evaluated and compared.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic disease that usually starts with cartilage damage in weight-bearing joints and then causes pain and loss of function secondary to damage in surrounding tissues. Osteoarthritis, which is seen with a frequency of approximately 10% in men over the age of 60 and approximately 18% in women, ranks first among the diseases related to the joint. Many factors such as age, gender, obesity, physical activity, trauma, and genetic factors are involved in the etiology of the disease. In osteoarthritis, intra-articular production and destruction events can occur simultaneously, so it is a dynamic process. Among the joints in the lower and upper extremities, osteoarthritis is most common in the knee joint. Various approaches are used in the treatment, including drug therapy, hyaluronic acid injection, use of glucosamine and chondritis sulfate, exercises, physiotherapy applications, and diet applications for weight loss to reduce pain and increase physical function. Physiotherapy and rehabilitation are important treatment options in OA. Generally, range of motion exercises, strengthening exercises, and endurance exercises are applied to patients. An exercise program can be as effective as an NSAID in reducing pain. Decreased quadriceps muscle strength is a finding seen in patients with symptomatic knee OA. In addition, aerobic exercise has the potential to improve cardiovascular fitness, many of the comorbidities often associated with OA, such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. Because OA is a major public health problem, a less costly population-based approach is desirable. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of exercise-related irisin on inflammation and pain in patients with OA who underwent exercise.
Intro: Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is largely used in various musculoskeletal disorders such as chronic tendinopathies but also osteoarthritis (OA). Several therapeutic trials evaluating the effectiveness of intra-articular PRP injections in knee OA as well as meta-analyses have already been published. Most of them have compared PRP to Hyaluronic Acid (HA). Their design was very heterogeneous in terms of PRP characteristics and injection protocol. Moreover, the number of patients included was often very low. Only few studies have compared PRP to placebo (physiological serum) and presented the same methodological limitations (limited number of patients, heterogeneous protocols in terms of number and frequency of injections, characteristics of PRP, etc.). Given the insufficient level of evidence related to these limitations, PRP injections are not recommended in the treatment of symptomatic knee OA by the main scientific societies such as American College of Rheumatology (ACR), Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI), American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) and French Society of Rheumatology (SFR). Experts in the field agree on the need for a placebo-controlled trial with hihg methodological quality and simple design in order to conclude with a good level of evidence to the benefit or not of this new therapeutic weapon in symptomatic knee osteoarthritis of moderate radiographic severity.
The objective of this study is to determine the comparison of Graston technique versus muscle energy technique to improve hamstring flexibility and ADL among patient of knee O.A.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic and progressive disease that results from characteristic pathological changes in the tissues of the entire joint, resulting in failure in the component parts. OA is one of the most common causes of disability in adults due to pain and altered joint function, impacting patients' quality of life. Treatment is based on decreasing pain and improving function, involving non-pharmacological, pharmacological, and surgical management. First-line treatment involves non-pharmacological and pharmacological measures. When OA is very advanced, total joint replacement surgery is recommended. However, for patients refractory to conservative treatment and unwilling or unable to undergo arthroplasty, few options remain. Recently, several studies involving minimally invasive procedures are being recommended. Among them is the cooled radiofrequency technique, causing neurotomy by thermal activity, thus reducing the patient's perception of pain. The classical therapeutic target for this technique are the genicular nerves of the knee. However, more recent studies have shown that these classical targets do not provide complete pain relief and have suggested new therapeutic targets, comprising besides the genicular nerves, the recurrent peroneal nerve and the infra-patellar branch of the saphenous nerve. In order to validate these revised targets, new studies need to be done. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy of the cooled radiofrequency procedure using classical and revised targets, and to compare pain intensity, knee function, quality of life, analgesic consumption and adverse effects of both techniques.
